This year we taught a new song for praise time called Christ Is Risen, written by Matt Maher. Here is the full studio recording of the song as well as a downloadable chord & lyric sheet. Right-click the link to download the chords. There is also a link to buy it from iTunes.
Wednesday, a.k.a. “Visitor’s Day” has come to a close. Today was the hottest day yet, which is why having the morning teachings in the air-conditioned dining hall is so nice. This morning we had the pleasure of Tim Barnes followed by Randy Evans for the teaching blocks. It was great to have Randy Evans back on camp grounds. It was the first time in 12 years!
Here are audio recordings of the teachings of Monday through Wednesday, including a teaching by Fr. James Ellison, Fr. Joel Weir, Fr. David Wey, Tim Barnes, and Randy Evans. We will post the audio from the remaining teachings on Friday or Saturday. Just click the play button to load and play the teaching. Alternatively you can right-click the link underneath the audio player and download the recording.
It’s Tuesday night at 11:26 PM and I’m finally able to start writing today’s blog post. This is half because of how awesome today was, and half because I was finally able to get all of the photos and video uploaded. It seems as the week goes on there is more to document and less time to do it!

Today was our first full day of camp. The weather has cooled down about 10 degrees and campers’ spirits are high. This morning the first teaching was given by Fr.

Both teachings were very informative and the campers were engaged and attentive. Counseling groups got officially underway, during which campers were able to discuss the teachings and anything else on their minds in a smaller group setting.

This has already been a great year so far, and it’s only the end of the first night. It’s weird having over 100 people here – weird in a good way! There are so many new faces and so much anticipation for a great week. Here are some videos from the first night of camp. Make sure you watch Josh Clemens get a plate of whipped cream to the face. You can always count on Assistant Director Tim Barnes to head up registration and make both new and veteran campers alike feel welcome and wanted at camp. In this clip, … Continue reading
Campers are arriving – that means Summer Camp 2011 has officially begun! And right as a weather system is moving into the area. A nice storm front has quickly cooled things down from the mid 90s to the mid 80s – and those 10 degrees make all the difference. We’ve been keeping an eye on the front here at the command center in the staff cabin, and we noticed a weird phenomenon in the weather pattern. Just take a look at the video.
