This year high adventure camp was to Havasu Falls in Arizona. It's my favorite place that the kids go to every 3-4 years. The only boy from our ward that wanted to go was Eric, so he tagged on to Spring Valley's ward, with Lemon Grove ward going too. The Prescott boys almost outnumbered the other group!! Simon, Noah, Eric & Jason represented.
Jason and Troy had gone there a few years ago, so Jason went as an adult leader. He was able to show everyone where all the cool falls were.
They jump and dive from crazy heights - up to 50'. This year the highest they jumped off of was 30'. The water and falls are so beautiful!!
It's a long drive to get there. Then they get to hike 1 hard mile down and 10 miles out to the falls. The hard part is getting BACK to the car. I am so proud of one of the boys for hiking out with all his gear, then going back to get others who were struggling and carry their gear out.
The boys all had such a great time. The leaders loved how they all worked together and were one team throughout the week.
I asked Eric what he thought about the trip. His response was "It was horrible and amazing". Just the way high adventure camp should be!!
