This morning we went to St. Mary’s Food Bank, which packages food for thousands of families in need in Arizona. We learned that it was the world’s first food bank! We formed an assembly line and we each had a specific job. Some girls built the boxes, some packed them with food such cereal, bottles of juice, and tuna cans, and some closed the boxes and loaded them onto the cart. Overall, we packaged 540 of them!
In the afternoon we went to Slide Rock State Park, where we swam in the water and enjoyed a break from the heat! It was extra fun to slide down the natural water slide there that was created by the smooth rocks in the river. As we boarded the bus and headed to downtown Sedona, we were detoured by the rain, enjoyed a scenic ride home, and came back to camp for a delicious BBQ dinner. Afterward, we had so much fun at our night activity, Human Game Night! We played life-sized Guess Who, Apples to Apples, and Bananagrams. It was so fun to play some of our favorite games with all our new friends! Overall we had such a great day!!
