Summer Camp 2011 Staff Night

Camp has officially begun for the staff! Today we arrived around 2pm and had our pre-camp meeting in the coolness of the air-conditioned cafeteria. After Edna’s pizza and Small Compline, we headed to the (hot) pool for some evening swim time. The heat was a little unbearable so we had a little time to just hang out in our cabins.

Here’s a clip of Joel Wilson, Tim Barnes, and Luke Beecham listening to … Continue reading

This year our staff night was chalk full of pizza, thunderstorms, prayers, and swimming (not during the storms of course). After a 3 hour orientation meeting the staff proceeded to do evening prayers and head … Continue reading

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.
