Camp Rio 2015 has begun

Camp Rio is when we get 3+  generations together and 
have one week of planned activities in the mountains of Colorado.

This year the theme is based on the books, The Magic Treehouse.
Each child had to read all 10 of the 51 books in the series.
Each of the 5 days of camp had a theme based on one of the books.

We didn't have a treehouse.....but, Cindy & I made a deck before they got here.

It protrudes over a hill that then drops off 300-400 feet into a canyon behind the cabin.


Here is pic about half way down Fox Canyon.
(Our side is actually steeper than the other side, which is what you see.)

During the week, Josh & I also made a slide from the deck
that goes towards the canyon...
and a climbing wall for them to come back up without having to walk around the deck.

Here is a video of the first brave souls to try it!
(Turn up the volume to hear what is going on.)




We are happy to report  that ALL campers survived this adventure.

(Stay tuned for more adventures from Camp Rio, Summer,  2015)
