Camp Thurman Open House

Camp Thurman is a Christian based camp that is a child’s slice of heaven. It is an outdoor camp with pools, zip lines, rock walls, swings, archery, crafts, water balloon fights, silly songs, skits, and much more. They learn a  bible verse and have to recite it at the end of the week. The open house was Saturday and the girls were so excited to do the zip line. I took my camera this time because I wanted to take pictures of the camp so the girls would always remember the fun. So, please bare with me on this post.
   
 


This was the start of our tour and the swing was a big hit.

 
Signs of scripture are planted all around the grounds.

This is where they meet to take a break and eat their lunch. These little areas are through out the camp.

This is the power pole and is for the big kids and our tour guide said she only gets as far as she has to go. All of the counselors have to try everything so they know how the kids feel and understand what they go through.

This is the big zip line and can be done by the little ones only on this day with their parents. The girls didn’t want to do it. They stuck with the smaller zip lines. We also ran into their counselor from last year, Trailmix. I was surprised she remembered them. Camp Thurman has 500 hundred campers each week. It was great to see her. Our counselor this year is Straylight.

We stopped for a bathroom break at the Red Sea.

Presley found a spot where she wanted her picture taken and had a sassy pose. I love that girl and her cute personality.

Rock Climbing

K-Climb and on the other side is a zip line.


Slap D-ball is a game you use your hands, no kicking, and you can’t slap the ball twice. Looks like fun to me.
   

 
This was Jordon Gulley and is definitely for the littler kids. This is the mini zip line and the only one you don’t have to wear a harness to ride.

Creation Place is where they do the crafts.


The counselors had a 30 minute lunch break and we ate lunch and headed back so we could do the other zip lines and we were the first to arrive to get our harness.


Because we were one of the first ones back I was able to take these pictures with no one around. These are all done with a harness.


Presley on the zip line. She first said she wasn’t going to do the zip line but she changed her mind.

 
Brooke was the one who was upset when she thought we weren’t going to do the zip line but was soon very excited when we told her we would eat lunch at Camp Thurman and go back to do the zip line. I would say the smile on her face says it all.
This was the last thing we did and it was called  The Tarzan Swing. The higher you go, the longer you swing.

Presley and I swinging.
Both of the girls didn’t want to go up to the highest point once they were raising us up they got a little scared but were fine once they were swinging and thought it was pretty fun. It was a great day and this camp will always be on our summer list of camps to attend.
