But this isn't the kinda camp I know: no swimming, no arts and crafts, no s'mores, no singing around campfires. That was the kind of wonderful summer Girl Scout experience I treasure from my childhood.
This is Lego camp! And he is so excited, so proud, so happy to go to "Lego school" this week. He's hoping to learn new Lego building techniques and isn't at all daunted by being the youngest kid in the group (you had to be 6 to go, and as you know, he turned 6 about 15 minutes before camp started!). He's got lunch and snack, plus a disposable camera to record his creations. He'll be gone more than twice as long as his kindergarten day, three times as long on the couple of days he's staying for extended care so Mama can pick him up after work.
We were, of course, nervous like any parents sending a child to camp, even day camp, for the first time. Not for fear of bug bites or pool mishaps, but just the long day, the new people, the being alone without Sis. Hopefully, luckily, I don't think our anxiety transferred or was even evident.
Which is good, because next week is Sis's turn at camp. And hers will have bugs and a pool!
