Camp Elk River....

One final camp this year. Camp Elk River- 30 miles NW of Minneapolis. When I signed Jazzy up for this camp, I briefly looked on a map to see where it was. It didn't look very far, but I didn't actually map it out. Stupid stupid me!! It was a 4 hour drive in heavy traffic, 90 minutes to "check in", and 4 hours to drive back. Minneapolis drivers are more rude than any place I have ever driven. Super heavy traffic on a Sunday!! Anyway, I think this is the largest Girl Scout Camp in the state, and the busiest- since is it so close to Minneapolis. They have such a variety of "camp themes"- just wish it was closer, or at least had bus service like they do in Phoenix. Of course, we had to go to the "camp store" and get a Camp Elk stuffed animal, snow globe, and patches:) Hopefully their Facebook page will have lots of photos this week. Here is Jasmine and her counselor "Kicker" from England. All of the Girl Scout counselors are from England. I think that the American girls go to England- kind of like an exchange program.
