Jasmine has joined the Girl Guides here in Okotoks, and her first taste of fun was a 2 night camping trip at Camp Gardner near Bragg Creek. I wasn't sure if she'd want to go so soon after signing up, but she was very enthusiastic, even when she discovered she was staying in a proper tent, and not a cabin like the Brownies do.
We both went off to Walmart to gather supplies, such as a sleeping bag, tarp, eating utensils and a flashlight, and she loved putting together her list of equipment. We drove her over last night and within minutes of arriving in the woods where they were pitching tents, she waved us off with a shrug, and pitched in to help her fellow guides with tent building. The only thing she was a bit miffed about was not being allowed to bring any candy. There was a total food ban to stop unexpected visitors invading their campsite at night....bear shaped in particular! When we explained it though, she was more than happy to leave it behind. I don't think she was too keen on sharing her tent with any grizzlies this weekend!
