I was able to go to Sky Mountain Ranch for 2 whole weeks!
There were so many activities, projects, games, and so much more.
My classes included: Lamp-making, Rocketry, Pottery, and Wood-shop.

The back of the main lodge. This is where I ate and did many indoor activities.

A view of the Tetons

I took this picture from the top of a mountain. The view would have been great, but the weather
wasn't the best. We were in a rain cloud.
The wood shop/barn where I spent a lot of time.
I made the shelf/coatrack in wood shop class.
I created the duck there too.

This was my backpacking group.

Wow! How fun for you Tanner. I hope you get to go again next year. Thanks for sharing.
Great post Tanner! Now I'm looking forward to the time when my kids can do their own blog posts and I won't have to. :)
Looks like you had a wonderful time. Good for you and great bog post.
Love that lamp, Tanner! So glad we got the full run-down on all your activities. Looks like you had a blast!
Looks like fun, sign me up! Glad you got to have more fun than your Texas trip turned out to be. Thanks for blogging about all of your adventures!
Did Tanner really write this? Or did you pretend you were Tanner? Either way it looks like an awesome way to spend 2 weeks.
