Day 5 and that's a wrap on our week of Cub Scout Day Camp. A huge thank you to Hooked On Fishing Park and Blake with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for coming out for fishing day. Thank you Pekin Park District for allowing us to use the park again this year! This might have been the coldest water day yet but there's no way that was stopping our fun. We'll see you again next year!

Thank you to John Schneider from Getz Fire Equipment for coming out and being our lunchtime program for Day 4! The Campers learned how to safely extinguish a fire and which fire extinguishers to use for different types of fire.

We will see you all shortly for the final day. Day 5. Just in case you have forgotten tomorrow is water day! Aka everyone's favorite day that the campers over the years have deemed it Staff and Walkers vs Campers. Who wins? Everyone! This by far is everyone's favorite tradition. We'll see you at check in starting at 8:30 and don't forget to bring your water fun toys and towels!

A big thank you to Officer Bucco and K9 officer Scout (what a perfect name) from Pekin Police Department for being our Day 3 lunchtime program and teaching the Campers all about evidence collection, police dogs, and answering all the questions. Another big thank you to Morton Industries LLC for making sure every Camper has a Disc to practice the skills that Thad Justice is teaching them this week.

We didn't have the day we planned but we followed the Cub Scout motto and did our best!

A wrap up post will be posted later tonight but we want to take a minute and say THANK YOU CAMPERS! They were all so great today with all of the changes that had to happen and were out of our control. There was minimal complaining (understandably there was some and we get it we didn't like it either), great listening and following directions. They absolutely showed today that they were Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, and Brave! We are so proud of all of you campers. 1 more camp day then it's water day 2 minus the tornado warning(s) and lightning.
