When I went to Girl Scout camp , I was a little scared because it was the first time I was that far away from home. When I got there, I didn't know any one. I was shy when I met Brielle but she was very nice to me and we became friends. Then I met other new friends! My new friends and I had a great summer swimming, horseback riding, playing games, and doing arts and crafts. I had a great time and I hope I can go back next summer.

Troop 148 went on their first camping trip to Lake Rickabear on Oct 7-9, 2011. For many this was their first experience camping. For some it was even there first night away from Mom and Dad. It could not have been a better weekend!

The weather was incredible, the company was great and the camping facilities were fantastic. We completed the Outdoor Adventure Try-it, went bowling outside, created two outdoor centerpieces for the tables on the deck, had a weather relay, collected items from nature and made picture frames, hiked over to the other side of the lake to go boating, sang songs and retired a flag in the proper manor around the campfire, made s'mores and so much more. It was a fun filled weekend with friends and family that we as a troop will never forget. Thanks Lake Rickabear!
