Last week was just too much fun!! Each year the County invites any senior to Mt. Charleston for a retreat we call "Camp Silver Pines". They have 9 cabins that sleep 14-16 people (yes they are huge) in the Lee Canyon area. Any and all people who are 50 or older may attend. I have been working with the county for the past almost 3 years at one of the Senior Centers that head up this trip and have been invited to teach/work for the 3 day event for the past 2 years.
It is such a great deal for these people. 2 nights, 3 days, transportation to and from the camp area, all meals and lodging and tons and tons of work shops, speakers and parties all for $125.00

Classes this year were so great, I taught 3 jewelry workshops, there was yoga, aerobics,art classes, archery classes, high ropes and low rope challenges, jam canning classes, knitting classes, card making, dutch oven cooking, botany classes, tai chi classes...I can't remember all the classes but we also had a speaker who talked about horse therapy, we had a reporting speaking about the day in the life of a Las Vegas reporter. The first night we had a country western duo come for a singing camp fire with smores and sing along ...and a little line dancing, the second night we had a DJ "2 tons of fun" come to help with the music for our final party/dance.
It was so much fun and I have already been invited back for next year.
