Dude, I don't think we're in Portland anymore...

What's the best part about working in a fun freelance design firm? Getting to spend a week "working" at a summer camp for 4-H kids for a week. We packed our bags and headed for Kim's hometown of Dayton, WA. Where is Dayton you ask? Well let's just say that it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there. It's actually a beautiful part of Washington, lots of great hiking, camping and fly fishing.

We were charged with no small task during our foray as camp counselors...Teaching arts and crafts to 120 impatient kids on a week-long sugar high from the camp's endless supply of kool-aid and popsicles. They came in droves (okay, 35 at a time) to learn how to make hemp necklaces and bracelets, and to decorate picture frames to take home with a special camp photo inside. The kids were great, most loved arts and crafts and many stayed to make more crafty creations during free time.

Here are some kids working on their hemp string masterpieces


Some of the cute frames the kids made, the aftermath of glitter and glue at the craft area was insane!


Of course what camp would be complete without some fun and games around the campfire? This is a little taste of life at Camp Wooten...This night the kids played 'Wheel of Fortune', complete with homeade wheel and bedsheet-clad Meghan as the lovely Vanna White!
