Every boy thinks they’re a ninja at some point, so this year we’ve introduced the Ninja challenge. We’re going to be building obstacles and challenges to test their ninja-ness. Once we’ve tested them all, we’ll recognize the boy’s who came out on top, who brought up the rear, and the one’s who bridged the gap in between (participation is its own reward for not being afraid to be challenged with this one).

After all the exertions, we settle down with a good old fashioned pizza party, a campfire, then movie night. Just like always, bring your camp chairs, and then slope off to your tent whenever your little ninja is ready.
