After each tubbing trip we set up the grill and canopies and have ourselves an old school cookout! We talk about going down the river and who flipped out if their tubes and some of us find the time to catch a nap. Always a good time!

I’m so upset that I lost my cell phone in the river during our Annual White Water Tubbing trip and these are all the pictures I got 😫😢. I took some slamming shots but hey, everyone had a good time and I did get some pictures from the after cookout. 😎

**Sorry for the length of this post 😆**

A lot of people don’t know that I was first introduced to camping when my mother sent me away to Camp Pleasant in 1972 for two weeks. I can’t remember if I was scared but I do remember not wanting to go home. When I got home all I could think about was going back to camp the following summer.

I remember my first counselor, Michael Ethridge, he made all 8 of his campers feel like a family. We hiked, swam, caught snakes, camped under the stars and sang camp songs like “Sardines & Pork N Beans” all day.

This experience change my life and I stayed with the program from 1972-2017. I knew I wanted to share my experience with other people of color so I encouraged everyone I knew to try camping. It wasn’t easy at first but as time went on, people begin to understand why it was so important to get out in nature.

In 1988 I started Goombay Adventurers, but it wasn’t until 1991 when I did my first adventure trip. Seeing the look on the participants face and hearing about how they enjoyed their experience, made me decide that this could be my life.

30 yeas later, at the Summer Camp Alumni Reunion aT Camp Pleasant, I was honored to receive a letter of appreciation from Mayor Bowser of Washington, DC for my years of service to the community. I’m not really into awards because it doesn’t seem right to get an award for something you love, but I appreciate it.

I use to tell my students and my son, do what you love and do it a lot. You only have one life so find your purpose and live.

Sunday Kickball in the black community is like a never ending family reunion.

We come together as a family (team) each Sunday to play kickball, talk trash and have fun. We cookout & hangout until the sun goes down.

It has become a great place to meet new people & relationships, stay active and loose weight and for the kids, it’s an opportunity for them to ditch the phones and play on the playground. What more can you ask for 😎♥️🔴
