Let it snow! What a cold, chilly blast we had at Winter Camp (1/25-27/08). It was so cold that I heard through the snow chains that there was a toilet outside pretending to be a snowman? and that chickens escaped from their pens and were roaming freely inside the cabins! Take a look at the tribe photos, looks like everyone had a chilly time!

Pinewood Derby Pitstop (2/24/08) - For those of us who
do not own our own tools (or just don't want to set them
up!), we gather at the YMCA for a day of cutting, sanding
and chatting with our friends. Get ready for the main event
in March!
Isn't it such a blast to go swimming during the winter? Well, that is exactly what the Adventure Guides did on February 10th at our Swim Party!

behind.......The weather was perfect out at the Adventure Guides
raceway. Check out all the action..... and the winners at the
Pinewood Derby!
Hike and Picnic (4/5/08) at Wildwood Regional Park. Just enough
sun to get sunburned. Just enough wind to keep us cool. Just enough
hiking to make us tired.
Wild Goose Moon Camp (4/25-27) at Far West.
Did you see the goose? Or the snipe? I searched, and searched,
and had a blast; but still could not see the red eyes of the snipe.
Maybe next year.
Magic in the Park (5/17) at Simi Rancho Park
The games were awesome! The deserts were out of this world! The magician was

a rare appearance along with the Blues Brothers! Hannah Montana just happened
to be visiting Simi Valley and sang a song will she was here too! What a Day in the
sun it was!

all of those that were there. Take a look at all the three pages of
memories!
Summer Camp (7/11-13) at Lake Casitas
What a way to spend the weekend! Singing campfire songs on
Friday night, getting cooled off on Saturday morning in our annual
water fight (go NORTHWIND!) then relaxing on the lazy river. The

out at Karaoke night.
Simi Valley Parade (9/13/08)
What a Great Time we had at the Simi Valley Days
Parade Thank you to everyone for making this such
a Fun and successful event. Everyone's efforts paid off
because our Float won the "Director's Trophy" for best float by a youth group.
There were a lot of great floats in the parade this year, and the weather was
perfect. Just a little overcast, which is perfect weather for walking in a parade.
Car Wash (8/23/08) at the YMCA parking lot
Is there any better way to cool off with friends while washing cars on a hot
summer day? Not that i know of. Kids of all ages had a blast while raising
money for the Adventure Guidesl
Kidspace Museum in Pasadena (8/3/08)
Anyone hungry? We have worms, bug juice and for dessert, beetle
intestine smoothies! If you are not into that, you can climb leaves that
reach up to the sky, or crawl through an ant hole! Outside, there were
gardens to explore and rivers and waterfalls to play in. We had an
adventurous good time at the museum!
Recruitment/Movie Night (9/20/08)
Perfect weather for an evening under the stars! We sang campfire
songs, and ate plenty of popcorn while watching "Open Season".

other new faces!
Tree Watering at Corrinvalle in Simi Valley (11/8/08)
Were we watering trees or little girls??? Thank you all that helped
water the trees. It looks that it was great for the environment as well
as a nice day to take a hike with family and friends.
Gift of Giving (12/2008)
Gift of Giving is a great way to give back to our community. We collected
unwrapped gifts, food and donations to Sparks of Life. Santa came to
visit along with the fire department and a choir that were wonderful to
listen to. Happy Holiday!
Harvest Festival (11/15/2008)
A little wind didn't stop these Adventure Guides from having a great time!
Guides who attended had fun golfing, playing basketball, tossing rings and
much, much more. A great way to spend the afternoon, while raising
money for the tribes.
