Northwoods Adventure Camp Diary | Chaperone Perspective

[@christileach4644]

Jennifer, you are an adventurous Mama! I’ve chaperoned a lot of things as a homeschooling mama, but never camp. Such fond memories I have, though, of attending as a kid. Thank you for taking us along! ❤ xo

[@roisinpatriciagaffney4087]

Hi Jennifer, everything you do looks fun, and you partake of most outdoor activities, with your kids. Supermum!!! Hi to Maria, and Peter. God bless the Brockmans 💐

[@HammTeach]

What fun memories made with Peter, Maria, and friends! ❤

[@mollysmith6055]

God bless you for being an important part of this camp for your children and many others. I'm NOT a camper and in fact have terrible bug phobias to the extent that after just a few hours outdoors among others I subconsciously begin trying to scratch my hide off, no matter how hard I try to control it. In fact, I had to stop your video at the end where the mosquitoes were biting you and then come back to finish the video later. I bet that the loss of your towel and your many other caring actions left an indelible mark on the memories of the other adventure campers. And your own kids will always remember being at this camp with you even if they won't understand how difficult it was until they volunteer to camp with their own children. Thank you for finding the time to video snippets of this experience with the rest of us.

[@jennifermills313]

Brought back fun memories of chaperoning for our youngest daughters group at church camp years ago. The chaperones taught 31:19 classes for the kids to pick from. Taught a baking class😂

[@janesecaraway3995]

What a fantastic time for yall! Such a great trip for the kids...they will remember for the rest of their lives! I went to church camp once and remember it so fondly. Such an experience!❤😊

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for taking me along! Looks like you were a very happy camper. What a great experience for all who attended. Hugs.

[@acountrylife]

Yes it was!

[@jenniferseals3652]

When I see the title of I lost my towel, I instantly laughed. I have been the one hoping no one loses a towel ❤ i can only imagine losing mine

[@acountrylife]

It all turned out ok; I was able to pivot and use a t-shirt as my towel for the week.

[@Bnsmimi]

What a fun video! Thank you for taking us along. It brought back memories of when I went to a camp like that when I was young and although that was a long time ago many things seemed the same. I’m sure Peter and Maria had a wonderful time and really loved having you with them. I’m so glad you enjoyed it, too.

[@acountrylife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@melaniemurphy2429]

What a fun and busy time you all had! I’m so happy you got to spend that time with Peter and Maria. Thank you for sharing the week with us!

[@katenowatzke6583]

Camp! And a Catholic Camp. Thats wonderful! Good job helping out. The cabins were really neat. The river was so relaxing. Repelling was so much fun as a kid! Go Maria! Good job Peter on the rock climbing! You all made some great family memories. I felt like I was going to camp with you... camping is so awesome! Thanks Jennifer for bringing us along with you! God bless you and family! 🕊

[@acountrylife]

Hi Kate, thanks for stopping by.

[@katenowatzke6583]

@acountrylife of course! I look forward to your vlogs!

[@roisinpatriciagaffney4087]

Hi Jennifer, you're such a blessing to your church community ❤All the activities looked funfilled. Love the bathing suits. God bless the Brockmans.🎉

[@acountrylife]

Hi Patricia 👋

[@roxannegray2796]

Thanks for going and encouraging the kids.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Oh the days of going on church camping with the kids. It’s fun, but exhausting too. Looks like everyone had a great time, just the bugs are immune to bug spray. Have a blessed week everyone!

[@CarolCarter-wb1ft]

Thanks for taking me along I enjoyed my time away and commend you for doing once again a great job for kids❤csrol

[@nannygeorginasmith3938]

How great is that trip, you were lucky with the very nice accommodation. Lots of good memories made. Thanks for sharing 👍😎

[@shopcookeatwi]

I loved going to bible camp pre-teen and as a teenager. One of the camps I used to go to was Sugar Creek bible camp in Ferryville WI. Every time camp was done for the year, I promised myself that one day I'd work there as a camp counselor. The packing list brought back memories for me from over 45 years ago. To this day some of my happiest memories of growing up include bible camp. Thank you for sharing your experience. I really enjoyed this video. Your Thrive order looks a lot like mine generally look--we love the chocolate snacks and c. chips.

[@acountrylife]

Sounds like great memories. Try the hu nuts…so good!!

[@sarahlarson1082]

Sugar Creek is about an hour away from me. Bible camp brings back fun memories!

[@annafyfe8361]

Amazing video what fun!!! 😊❤ I really enjoyed watching!!! Your my favorite KZbinr!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@acountrylife]

You're so kind Anna!

[@paulaelves5160]

[@acountrylife]

Sounds dreamy. 😍

[@christieflesch3750]

So excited to see that you posted a new video❤❤❤❤❤

[@acountrylife]

Prepping for camp, camp and then unpacking and laundry after took a lot of time away from YouRube. It was worth it, but now I’m trying to get back to it and we’re in the last few weeks before the wedding so lots of dress alterations taking my time.

[@cathydecarles7084]

Jennifer you are the he best Mother Wife and helping the Camp helper I love you sweet Friend Cathy🙏🏻✝️☮️📿🍀🏖️🌺🌹💐💙❤️💗💜

[@acountrylife]

Hi Cathy, thanks.

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Only got to go to church camp once but I loved it.

[@bethd9160]

Beautiful vlog Jennifer. Good thing the rain held off till the last day.

[@annmittelstadt2938]

How fun! ❤ I love do all the kids things with my daughter and son. We had overnights at the Buffalo, NY zoo, Niagara Falls Aquarium, a skating rink, Buffalo Museum of Science, N.Y. and even camp just like yours. My days are over with my little ones only because they are 32 and 29. Love all your videos ❤

[@acountrylife]

Good times!!

[@pheebs818]

Just looked on google earth at lake atkins. My GOODNESS you guys are in the middle of nowhere! Ive never done anything that far deep in the woods. So cool. Amazing camping. Thanks for sharing with us 😊❤

[@AngelaRothbauer]

[@kristenschnese6980]

I remember camp for church for us it was camp Byron looks like you had a wonderful time

[@vickihill4777]

At our church camp we have vespers every night with a snack. It’s different every night like pretzel sticks or popsicles or s’mores or cheese and crackers etc.

[@acountrylife]

Night vespers was one of my favorite parts.

[@28michele]

Good job momma 💕💕

[@karenchakey]

That looked like so much fun it reminded me of campouts in my younger days in school. God bless

[@cathybrown554]

How fun!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi all happy Tuesday afternoon to you and I enjoy your channel and you all amazing supporter

[@kayemoore]

You triggered some many WONDERFUL memories! I grew up going to YMCA camps every year, as many sessions as I could. After my babies became old enough, they went to Y camp and I was a Y camp nurse. Then came my grand kids who also went to YMCA summer camp sessions while I was the camp nurse. None of us has gone since the 2020 changes. We do lots of glamping in our RVs now. I hope you all wonderful life long memories like me - summer camps are GREAT!

[@acountrylife]

Those sound like great memories.

[@annethompson2212]

really great video 😊

[@debgordon6542]

All I could think about was the amount of laundry you'd have to do when you got home. Most only have one campers belongings to clean but you had to multiply it by 3. Looks like it was worth it. What a trooper!!

[@acountrylife]

I did laundry for a full day after; 7 loads. Worth it though!!

[@Bex-rg8pj]

Looked like fun!

[@user-zf1qi7cd8b]

You are such a trooper to go to camp. What a great sport!

[@donnasymoniak5280]

Enjoyed the video Jen❤

[@tammygreen7180]

JESUS CHRIST MY LORD AND SAVIOR ❤

[@merediths9667]

This is perfect timing! I’m packing my 12 year old for church camp right now! She will be gone an entire week and I’m super nervous for her but she is very excited as this is her first time. ❤

[@acountrylife]

She’ll have a blast and come home tired.

[@hollyfink6168]

Did you go repelling too? So much fun! 😊 Swimming suits wear out, I had to order a new one this year too!😊

[@acountrylife]

The chaperones couldn’t rappel or rock climb because the camper attendance was at max capacity.

[@lanagraham1661]

You are a wonderful trooper! What were the temperatures like? So glad Maria and Peter got to experience this awesome camp. Thanks for sharing!❤

[@acountrylife]

70’s and low humidity. It was fantastic!!

[@juttakasapis6408]

❤

[@vickihill4777]

Pretty toenails.😌

[@acountrylife]

Thanks.

[@papillonlover8161]

Thanks Jennifer. Reminds me of Girl Scout camp in the Arkansas Ouachita mountains. Each Sunday we Catholics took a bus to Mass. I’d hoped you’d show the Priests. I have an old photo I love of me age 2 at our church’s Easter egg hunt with Father Janasco. Take care.

[@acountrylife]

Did you see the man helping Peter rock climb? That was one of the 5 priests we had at camp.

[@r.p.9829]

My adult special needs daughter just came back from camp..she loves it and goes each year for 5 days...are there any Joe might be able to go to near you?

[@acountrylife]

It’s on my list to check and see what’s available. That’s nice your daughter could go.

[@jenniferbargowski2968]

Love the swimsuits. Thank you for the reviews, it's hard to buy them online. 😊

[@jannie5559]

Love your green dress

[@acountrylife]

Thanks 😊

[@meld2716]

Great video. How long was the drive to the camp?

[@acountrylife]

4 hours!!

[@JJ-mh8ej]

That fire pit setup gives me anxiety. All I can see is a kid tripping and falling in

[@acountrylife]

It was for the teens only.

[@andreastray5480]

I would hate this sorry I like the ocean
