Joshua was the speaker for the youth at Sierra Vista's youth and family retreat, so we got to be part of that this fall. It was at a do-it-yourself camp near Santa Cruz, which was interesting. It's always intersting to go to other camps and conference centers and see how they run things.
The first full day, the kids and I explored the camp and went on a couple of hikes.
We also played in the sand at the volleyball court.
Wednesday was beach day, so after breakfast, making sack lunches, and a brief session at camp, we went to the boardwalk. Most things were closed and there were only a few people there, which is not how I've seen the boardwalk in the past, but it was fine with us. The kids got to try cotton candy for the first time and thought it was good.
We went down to the beach for awhile.
It was still mostly sunny, but there was a storm coming in. We got rain a number of times during our four days at the coast.
Mrs. Fulce was the leader for the kids and did a great job with lessons, games, and crafts for our little group of six kids.
We had our last lesson after breakfast Thursday, then cleaned up our cabin and ate our sack lunches on the way home.
