That is mini-me's favorite summer activity, bar none. It is a week long outdoor Bacchanalia devoted to creek walks, hikes, games, stories, one overnighter under the stars and dirt, dirt, dirt!!! The kid is a certified tree hugger extraordinaire and finds close examination of insects and various flora / fauna to be the ne plus ultra.
This is the kind of program where you watch the camp counselors grow up too. Each year we get to see alot of familar faces. Summer Nature Camp has become Mags "Cheers", if you will. When she walked in for this morning for the first time this summer they greeted by cheering her name and big hugs. That's a pretty darned good feeling.
It's going to be hot hot hot (plus 100, people!) so we invested in a small scale Camel Back. Coated in a nice shelack of spf 45, armed with the dromedary hydration station, healthy lunch and hat, we hugged toodles and I wished mightily I could go with her! Ah the lazy fun days of summer as a kid. Good times.

Couldn't have said it better....
