Spring Camping Trip Recap

The Annual Spring Camping Trip was a success!  9 KADEP participants made their way on an overnight adventure to Colorado Springs and Golden Bell Campgrounds March 23-25.

They boarded the van at KADEP on Wednesday morning.  The afternoon was filled with a visit to the beautiful grounds at Garden of the Gods.  Wednesday night, they headed to their cabins, unpacked their bags and ate dinner.  The Wednesday night activity was a blast.  They did skits with props from each of their bags and items in their rooms.  Congrats to Molly, who was awarded with The Best Actress Award!

Thursday, they had a hearty breakfast and visited the Pioneer Museum and Court House in Colorado Springs.  Next, was a tour at the Fire Fighter's Museum.  Thanks to the tour guides for showing them around!  After a fun day, they headed back to the cabins for dinner and a movie.

Friday morning was started with delicious biscuits and gravy.  They packed their bags and said goodbye to Golden Bell until next year!  Everyone was back at KADEP for lunch and a restful weekend ahead.

Thanks to KADEP staff, TC and Donna, and to the three TR interns.  The trip was a blast!
