So i have been at boa for the past 4 days. Boa ( boerne outdoor academy) is a camp 6th graders go to learn about the outdoors first hand. The camp is sponsered by HEB and is in the middle of no where. Which is why TB this post has taken 9 days to post.
I was a student leader of 8 kids and all but three of them i enjoyed as much as a misquite thorn. They were a pain. That is an experience thats makes me lean towards zero kids. The camp was decent with the exception of that. Throughout the week the kids and i endured activities such as hiking, wading, fishing, canooeing, rocket building, volleyball, basketball, kickball, team building, obstacle courses, meals, nap attempts, and other stuff that was in the name of bogus education.
My two favorite parts of camp boa where limited to two specefic areas of camp. One was going on the hike for a mile through the water with D. Webb and the other was hanging out with one of my campers madre.
Lets start with the hike. The hike was 4 miles through the texas hill country and then 1 mile of wading through the frio river. The 4 miles was not all that bad but i do have decent bit of hiking under my belt just your standard trail. Something that won't cause the 6th graders or the moms any problems. Then when we reach the water some turn around others continue foward like spartans. And a spartan i am. With D we walked through the water which was cold enough for you to go numb in about 2 minutes for about a mile just relaxing, talking, and watching the kids all while enjoying the bluffs on both sides of the river.
Then there was the mom. She was probably the coolest mom you could have ever met. And she was an attractive mother if you've ever seen american pie you know where i'm going with this. Anyways camp was all around decent and the worst part was i missed utsa class. How unfortunate.
