The pizzas are in the oven - the healthy ones we made this morning!
Once everyone was finished eating lunch, some chose to play games while others chose to quietly sit and start watching "Miracle Dogs".
Right now half of the children are playing games in the gym and the other half are at the park on a nature hunt!

| Fun to watch as the older children and Jr Leaders make sure the game is enjoyed by the younger campers! |

Monday … we are having fun, what a great GO! Camping staff and group of children for camp this week. So far we have played getting to know you games, baked muffins, played more energetic games and are smelling some great smells coming out of the kitchen. Just waiting for snack time! Everyone is getting along fine, no problems, just a lot of smiles!

Angel and her brother, Ryder (two youth from WICM) made Alexis and Gabrielle dream catchers to take home. Rev. Mullin will tell us about them and where they should be hung in their bedrooms a little later in the day.
Well another full day! It is starting to feel like we don't have enough time left to help with all that needs to be done. We started the day at "The Miracle Store". After an hour I was taken to Flora House to facilitate a Leading With Care session with the staff of WICM. Once camp started Jean, Shirley, Theresa and Joanne went to a nature centre with the children. I haven't heard all of their stories yet, but I'm sure we will at dinner time.
That left Scott, Gabrielle, Alexis & I to stay at Flora House to continue painting. This is quite a large undertaking! Scott found a new skill - he can actually paint pretty well! Gabrielle & Alexis turned out to be pretty awesome painters, too.
I am struck with how generous and welcoming and inclusive everyone is with us. It will be hard to leave on Thursday.
Please check out Scott's and Gabrielle's blogs later on when they get written and posted.

Sorry, I'm having problems getting the pictures to post. That will have to wait until we get back. Alexis, Gabrielle, Scott & I (Joni) went to the park with the children today. We had so much fun! The children are amazing. Some were reluctant to talk with us, but they soon came around. We heard lots of laughter and saw lots of smiles. The staff at Flora House are all dedicated and passionate people.
Shirley, Jean, Joanne and Theresa worked hard, too. They stayed behind to paint the main hall in Flora House.
I was touched today by a young lady who told me that she was celebrating her "2 years of sobriety anniversary" today.
I encourage you to read Gabrielle's blog and Scott's, too. All of us can't wait to share our experiences with you!
Good night,
Joni
