Greetings from Girls week 3! It's hard to believe that we are almost finished with our Girls camp sessions. This week has been a very uneventful week (which is usually a good thing!) weather wise. The weather has been beautiful other than a little bit of rain during outpost night, so the pool has been busy most days with lots of swimmers.
After we finish this week, we will begin our transition into the end of the summer programming. Culinary Camp had to be canceled due to low registration numbers, but we are still running Science Camp and Camp 101. After that, we will pack our things up and move back down state to open up our metro office again. Then, until October, camp will be busy most weekends with work weekends and parent-child programs.
I'm hoping to get a few other summer staff on the blog to comment on this season, so be on the lookout for that!
Please continue to pray for camp and all of the staff who will be departing this weekend. Also for those that are staying to finish out the season. Thanks for checking in!

Summer just keeps on rolling
The title of this post really describes how camp goes once we get into full swing with programs. So far we've had Horse Camp, Boys Camp, Family Camp, and our first week of Girls Camp. All of these went well! Hopefully I can take some time to talk individually about each program, but for the sake of time, I will keep it short.
One of the highlights that came during Family Camp was saturday morning's theme! The theme for the week was Happy Holidays, so we had a different holiday to celebrate each day. Saturday was Christmas which entailed wearing our pajamas to breakfast, having christmas ornaments all over the commons, "snowing" the bird and the dining hall with cotton balls, and exchanging secret santa gifts between the families and staff. Oh...and I can't forget...red icing on the cinnamon rolls!
We just started our second week of Girls Camp. It's becoming a regular thing for it to rain during registration on sunday, but no one seemed to mind and everyone got here safely. Our theme this week is "Week at the Museum", so we're excited to see what type of fun activities we'll be doing.
Our apologies for not updating every week like we were trying to, hopefully the remainder of the summer will be better!
