Sunday saw campers from all over the world (ok Midwest) arriving for camp registration in eager anticipation of the exciting week to come. Luggage was unloaded, bunks became occupied, bathrooms were stocked with toiletries, and friendships were begun. “It’s finally here!” were the words expressed through the eyes of many campers.
For the benefit of the first-time campers and familiar faces alike, introduction activities commenced immediately, including camp orientation, followed by ice-breaker games in the tabernacle, followed by Edna’s pizza for dinner, and rounded out nicely with some quality singing and praise time. This was probably the most enthusiastic opening praise time the music crew has ever witnessed.
We were blessed to see the campers already lowering their guard and taking part in worshiping God with all of their hearts on the very first night of camp. It was definitely an inspiration to the staff and music crew.

Ice-breaker mayhem
In pursuit!
More piggy-back-tape-game fun
Laughter is the best medicine.
As always, larger sizes of these pictures, as well as many more pictures, will be included in the camper packets distributed at the end of camp. There will also be a media extravaganza post after camp when we get back into high-speed Internet country which will also include many more pictures, videos, and audio clips. So, if you don’t see yourself yet, don’t fret!
