Emily & Lindsey were able to be volunteers at it (which also can be counted as a Young Women's value experience). They were each assigned an age group to help take to each station every day. Kate & Hannah were able to be "campers" and attend. (I originally signed Jack up as well, but then realized I had already signed him up for the annual Johnsen & Johnsen basketball camp that he loves to go to).
The kids go each day for an entire week from 9 a.m. to noon. They learn about our founding fathers and the principles & values that our founding fathers built our nation on. They learned about historical events, historical figures, they learned great songs and made great new friends. They got the cutest shirts and every day came home with fun reminders about what they talked about that day. All for $30. Can you believe it? Amazing!
I love Patriot Camp! I love that they can learn about our amazing country! On the last day, the parents can come and watch them perform their songs.

Kate's the blond on the right (looking at the camera)
Hannah
On that last day too, they had visits from George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and a Revolutionary War soldier!
This is the group - the kids in the blue shirts are the "campers." The kids in the tan shirts are the youth volunteers (Lindsey wasn't here this day - she was playing in a soccer tournament).
Can you spot Hannah? She's on the 2nd row - 1st "camper" on the left. I love that they smile when they see me with the camera.
This is Emily's group - she's on the back row - 2nd one in.
Emily's best friend, Kate, also volunteered. She was over Hannah's group. This was also the group that Lindsey helped with. Hannah's on the front row, far left.
Kate made this cute friend, Grace
