ICHE Family Camp 2022 Part 1

ICHE Family Camp 2022 Part 1

ICHE (Illinois Christian Home Educators) has an Annual Family Camp @ Camp Timber-lee in Wisconsin every year. This was our first year going & we are so grateful for the opportunity! McKaylee was able to come join us also. (Fun note – this is the same camp that McKaylee went to for a 3 day summer camp when she was 7/8. I also went there in the mid-90s with my youth group for a winter weekend camp.)

Logan playing Gaga Ball. Most of the kids spent time playing, but this is one of the few pictures I have of it🤷‍♀️

The goat kept trying to eat her shirt & hat 🤣 ❤️

“Great Escapes from the Bible” game – there were 10-12 “stations” & we went around as a group & volunteers silently acted out (with the props at each station) a skit of a Bible story. Then we guessed at the end what was being acted out.
Such a fun idea! ❤️

THE ZIP LINE!! We were VERY excited, as we had never had the opportunity to do this before! I even got to go!! ❤️ :

A picture from the 52-foot tower! That was a LOT of stairs to walk up!! (We counted 7 stories of steps!)

Xanna, excited & ready!
