May 27th

On our final morning, after loading the kids luggage into the vehicles and eating breakfast, we participated in a Map & Compass Challenge Hike. I am not really sure why that was the name chosen for the event, though, as we had no map of our route. We were given clues with compass headings and some trivia questions to answer along the way. Overall the hike lasted about an hour, maybe a little longer. I think this would have been a better activity for day one, as it would have given everyone a chance to get familiar with the camp. As it was, the kids were just plain tired (and so were the adults!) and didn't really feel like walking the couple of miles to get around the lake.

	Our group figuring out which direction to walk next with their compasses.
	A little over half way through our walk another group started following our lead to get back to the meeting place. Here we all our discussing our next move.
	By this point in the walk Tyler was feeling pretty exhausted. Thankfully we were almost done at camp and ready to head back to school.
	One last look at the group headed down the road.

When the time came to get on the buses to go back to school, most of the kids were way past ready to go!

"Let's Go Home!"
	Here are the kids waiting to climb onto the buses that will take them back to the school. Tyler is in the center, with his arms on his head.
