Ski Trip 2013

Ski Trip 2013

The first day, we jetted down to Rim Bowling for a day of friendly competition and pepperoni pizza!

After a fun filled day of bowling, our campers awoke the next morning to a blanket of snow.

No time is wasted here at Camp Paivika! We got on the road and arrived at Big Bear Ski Resort in the morning. Everybody was excited and anxious to hit the slopes.

Natalee and her instructor spent the day carving down the mountian. 

Vinnie is ready to go!

Go Lloyd!

David's got his game face on!

Megan will beat anyone down the slopes!

Laura was excited and made friends with her instructor.

Matt is a professional when it comes to skiing

Randi is all smiles!

Don't mess with Ryan.

Scott was amazing on the slopes.

Kelly's beautiful daughter Sydney joined us for the day. She is a little superstar on the slopes!

I think were all a little exhausted. Wouldn't you say so?

All great things must come to an end. So long till Summer!

Leo Carrillo Camping Trip 

September, 16th -19th 2012

This is an amazing time for camping at the beach!!

After summer camp, we set forth on a journey for 3 nights to Leo Carrillo, Malibu for our annual camping trip.

After we had arrived at Leo Carrillo State Beach, we set up our camp tents, 

explored camp grounds, tide pools and travelled the white sands of the beach. Kenny led us on a hike around the campsite while Kelly prepared the most delicious meal for dinner. The first night we had BBQ rips and corn. Once dinner was complete, we had fun toasting marshmallows over the blazing fire.

 Hmm Yummy!

We all slept like rocks among the clear blue skies and fresh salty air!!

Kelly and Kenny were the best chefs ever! 

Eggs,bacon, pancakes and sausage was served along with a cup of hot chocolate, tea or coffee.

In the morning each day, we all relaxed on the beach with our toes in the sand. 

Kenny led us on a hike near our campsite by the beach.

We found many interesting animals such as bunnies, birds, squirrels etc. 

At the beach, we had a friendly competition on who can build the best sandcastle.

We all had so much fun!

In the afternoon, the tide was low which made it easy to explore the amazing seashore!!

We collected seashells and sea glass for our craft project back at camp.

Each evening we all sat around the campfire and shared the best moments of the day.

Some nights, we performed  skits at the amphitheater.  

We all had a good time together and hope to enjoy the trip again next year.
