YMCA Camp Carson

Last Sunday, our "local" YMCA residential camp hosted a free afternoon of fun for YMCA members. Because our family LOVES the YMCA and LOVES camps, we decided to go check it out! Camp Carson is a lot smaller than the other Y camps that we have been involved with, but it is in a beautiful location and has a lot to offer. The weather was absolutely gorgeous for taking a walk outside, but it was a bit chilly for the water activities (which were the majority of the planned events). So, we enjoyed a canoe trip around the lake, a hay ride tour of the camp and the indoor game room & climbing wall. They have a really cool zip line that starts at 3 stories high and ends up in the lake. A few kids braved the cold water to try the zip line, but our boys decided it was too high and too cold! Hopefully, with me working for the Y and our recent budget expense reduction, one day we can afford to send the boys to overnight camp at Camp Carson. It was a nice family outing, though short & sweet!

I am so jealous! I love the Y. That is one of the things I miss most about St. Louis. There are no Y's around here and definitely no Y camps! You don't know what you've got til its gone!

I did not realize you were working at the Y. How much are you working? What are you doing?

Your family always does such great things with the Y.

Kyle and I met at Camp Carson, and that is also where he proposed. He proposed under the pine trees in front of the cabins, right where we met.
