Willow Springs Program Center

Hey ya'll! Sorry for the belated updates--it's been quite busy at Willow Springs lately! Troop Camp this weekend went exceedingly well, and the weekend ran smoothly into the camp's last week before the mid-season break. Last night, the story of Willowmina and her yellow chicks was shared around the fireless campfire, the green-faced administrative staff landed on planet Earth and returned to their home galaxy, and some girls had the opportunity to walk the camp's labyrinth, lit up by handfuls of battery-operated candles. Today, the Apache girls went on a hike and learned about edible plants, the Up in the Trees campers got to experience the camp's low challenge course, the Cocopah unit began learning the week's dance routine, and the Navajo crew got to make sand candles. Meanwhile, the DIY Divas were working hard to design and build a garden. You can see the photos from today (and some pottery that was fired from last week) below!       ...

It was another fantastic day at Willow Springs yesterday! The Apache girls spent the morning practicing their play and bouldering, the Hidden girls spent another day preparing for Friday's flight at Prescott Airport and finger weaving, the Cocopah crew made nature mobiles, and the Navajo campers made Chex Mix and took a hike. The entire camp participated in a cook-out, making foods from pancakes to chicken fajitas. Most campers also got the opportunity to sleep outside; those who did not either slept in a tent, in a yurt, or will be sleeping outside tonight. You can check out the photos from the day below!    

It was another day of fun in the sun at camp today; girls had the chance to tie-dye, visit the Trading Post for a nutritious snack or gift, hike the Brownie Trail, and learn a dance. While the Discover Aviation program went to the Prescott Airport, the rest of camp participated in Pick 'Ems. This week, hula dancing, dream catchers, plate masks, improvisation games, field games, and ceramics were all offered as activities for the afternoon. You can check out some of the photos from the day below!
