Camp part 3 Pool/splash pad/waterfront

The pool is open during specific times everyday, each week at camp.  During Kids week, the pool is pretty much open from the moment breakfast finishes, to the moment just before everyone goes to bed.  It's just extra popular Kids week.  The Pontoon boat is also a big hit.  Everyone can go on it, it doesn't cause motion sickness, and it is even rigged for safely accommodating wheelchairs!


This photo is proof that Trevor swam this week.  Every other summer I've been at camp, he's opted out of pool time.  Yet another reason I am so very proud of him!

New this year at camp is an awesome addition to the pool area.  This is called the splash pad.  Its a concrete slab with water-park-like attractions.  There are colorful pipes coming out of the ground that spray water in different directions.  It's awesome.  Steven liked it better than the pool because he didn't have to wear a life jacket, and he didn't have to wear ear plugs!


My very own Steven Taco!


Trevor insists that he didn't fall asleep on the boat, but I'm not convinced!

Steven wasn't so happy with me on the boat.  Not only does he hate wearing a life jacket, which as you can see they are required, even I am wearing one, but he also likes to chew on the straps.  I don't let him because not only can you visibly see the years worth of mildew on them, they sit in a dirty old shed all winter and summer and there's just no telling where they've been or who they've been on.
