Rowena Goes Camping!

Rowena helps set up camp

September 12th- 16th, 2005, Venture Crew #847 went on their annual week long camping trip. This once annual camping trip is known as a SuperActivity. The crew members spend the majority of the year preparing for the trip which takes place in a different place each year. This year, Rowena was with us. Rowena was not yet born when the Venture Crew went out to Baxter State Park last August. This year, the chosen location was Camden Hills State Park in Camden, Maine. This was Rowena's first real camping trip. She did spend the night in a tent with me last November when she was only 9 weeks old, but this was not just a night... it was a whole week! Be prepared to see a bunch of pictures of Rowena taking part in Crew activities as she fulfills her duties as the "Assistant to the Vise President of Fun". (I am the Vise President of Programs... or "fun" for the crew.) She tried to herd the ocean, went for her first real hike (at night), played navigator for my kayak, and had training sessions campsite style!
