Camp Tufton

Every year, the Peace Corps Volunteers in Grenada put on a week-long camp for the boys at the Father Mallaghan's Home. It's a time for boys to be boys, and we do all sorts of activities like football, ultimate frisbee, swimming in the ocean, a scavenger hunt, hiking, crafts, making kites, having a talent show, and going on an overnight camping trip to Bathway Beach. We were absolutely wiped out by the end of the week, but even just the smiles and hugs from the boys every single morning when they see you, makes it worth every drop of sweat and every hour of lost sleep.
