Treasure Island

I had the opportunity to work as camp staff for 9 days in August for a Cub Scout camp on Catalina. I worked as kitchen staff at Cherry Valley. It was a lot of fun even though it was hard work. I worked 9 hours a day in the kitchen, all of this while I was on "vacation!"

I was able to bring along Josiah who worked on Junior Staff for camp. He worked as a den chief, in the archery range, and in the handicraft department. Caleb was able to come along as a staff kid. This was his first and last opportunity to attend a resident cub camp. Next year, he has the opportunity to go as junior staff as he moves up from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. Caleb's favorite activity was archery where he shot 140 bull's eyes for the week. If you wanted to know where Caleb was, you could find him at the archery range.

The theme of the camp was all about pirates. There were 300 people attending each session of Cub Camp. There were 2 sessions for the week. Next year, I will have the chance to bring along another son, Benjamin, to attend camp. He will become a Bear Cub Scout next year so he will have the opportunity to attend as a staff kid. He should have a lot of fun as his older brother, Caleb, did.
