June 30 2010,

We are on the ride back from Maple Canyon. It was fun watching people play Abulaba. People here climbing and me Trevor, thomas, Mistie and Amy had a fun van ride to the Sinclair. I completed every route I attempted even a 100 footer. Cya soon,

This week has been very fun, and I am with a lot of fun people. We had a lot of fun times. We went to the pool and showered. The pool was so cool.

This is my 4th time on this trip and I can't stop enjoying the trip. It's so fun and funny. I improved my climbing and did a 5.10 a which was super hard. I also get to do a few 5.9's, 5.8's and 5/7's. I'm glad I went with the people I went with. I had fun playing games. I forgot to tell you about Austin. Austin is our main lead climber. He was pretty cool. This is the last week of camp for my 3rd year and I hope to come back next year.

I have been on the trip once before but last time I only climbed twice well three times and I didn't make it up once, but this time I completed 9 climbs. It was way fun!

This trip is my last trip until I've done every trip at Navajo Tails!!! Woo woo. This Trip I've learned more than any other trip at Navajo Trails. I learned how to make a fire, make a broom, make cordage bracelet, and most in important how to survive with a wool blanket as a pack! I had fun.

This was a new exciting experience for me. Although this scenery is not mundane, it is familiar to me. i have taken trips to parts of Utah that are very similar to this, but I usually don't camp when I visit this part of Utah. I have camped but never like this. I have learned a lot from this trip. I especially liked making ask cakes, every meal for Wednesday was salubrious and delicious. This was a great experience and will be hard to forget.

Waterski Trip at Otter Creek. After breakfast on Monday we headed out to Otter Creek. We spend as much time possible on the ski boat waterskiing. It rained a little in the week, but it was awesome, we had a dance party in the van. We ate good food like Russian Chicken, French Toast and Scones.

We swam, played on the beach, and made bracelets!

On Friday we went into Capital Reef to hike to Hickman Bridge, see the petrogyphs and go swimming underneath the waterfalls.

The Survival Trip spent the day getting ready for our trip.

Long Time Trip Leaders Jon and Anne Smith (who were counselor when Dan went to camp) taught everyone how to roll a survival pack and how to tie the right knots to make a pack out of a wool blanket. We practiced a few times until it was easy.

We learned how to sharpen our knives.

We all helped package our food by day per meal.

Then we learned out to make cortage (rope) out of milkweed and other fabrics.

We also learned how to carve our own spoons out of cottonwood.

Jon showed us out to make a bow drill fire.

Tonight we will make dinner and learn how to navigate using the stars.

We are really excited for our trip that begins on Boulder Mountain and ends in Capital Reef! We are going to hike along the stream the entire way so we will be cool and have plenty of water. We're excited to learn skills like how to build a trap, cook our own food, and to build shelters.

Climbing in Maple Canyon has been great! I haven't been rock climbing at all before this, but everyone says that I've been doing good. The other good thing is that I have learned to belay. I am soooo glad that I came on this trip, because now I think I have found my new sport after gymnastics! The harest I have climbed is a 5.9, but I'm gonna try to do a 5.10 before we leave.... even though I don't want to leave. This whole entire week has been wonderful and I wouldn't change it for anything!!!

Horse Journal

Filed Under : , by Navajo Trails Summer Camp

This week has been great!


It brings back all of the wonderful memories from camp from all my years at camp.

I have loved being back at NTR as a counselor this week. Riding horse has been great this week.

The kids are great and get all so well and do wonderfully with their horses. I love seeing Cori's smile after she got Ashely Moon to lope and hearing Trevor laugh and smile the whole time. Alice loves horses and you can really tell whenever she's around Babe. Helena came all the way from Spain and she rode Bravo like a champ! Asher did great with Utah. Ben did great. He is always positive and smiling. One day he will make a great horse trip leader.

We also had all of the backpackers with us for the last couple of days, which has made our quiet campsite quite the party spot. It has been fun and I've really enjoyed watching the kids learn this week!

Weekend at the Ranch!

Filed Under : by Navajo Trails Summer Camp

On Friday after our trips, showers, and dinner. We got together to play some team building games like Everybodies It, Mario Brothers, and Blind Tag.


Our world cup soccer game continues after every meal.

On Saturday morning we did laundry and some work projects like cleaning up our cabins and bathrooms.

After lunch we went into Bicknell to go swimming at the pool. We love the high dive!

After the pool some of us went to the movie Toy Story 3 and some of us played board games back at the ranch.

Then we played more games after dinner. Then we had a campwide sleepout under the stars, when the rain came we moved to the dining hall where we slept IN.

On Sunday morning some of us made Tie Dye T-Shirts, they turned out AWESOME! We made up our skits for campfire and signed up for next week's trips.

For lunch we had our favorite Tare Bread with honeybutter. Yummy!

Sunday afternoon we went to the pond, some of us went on the zip line and played casino games like black jack and Uno.

Sunday night we wrapped things up with a campfire and our skits about the last week!

We're excited for our trips tomorrow!
