Heading This morning was a gorgeous start to our first Friday of the session. While it is hard to believe that we are already heading into the weekend, the week has flown by in a way that only camp can do. Today promised that same bustling activity with our youngest cabin overnighters returning in the early… Continue reading A Fantastic Friday
Heading As I mentioned yesterday, today was going to be a themed jersey day alos know as Jersday Thursday! There were so many cool jerseys out there today! Some boys had full on kits going on.

Waikiki Wednesday You will notice several Hawaiian Themed shirts in the pictures tonight. Some of the guys really go out of the way to look good on Waikiki Wednesday. I am not sure when some of these theme days started, but many have been going on for decades. We don’t have something every day, but… Continue reading Waikiki Wednesday!
Tie Dyes, Tigers, and Tacos Who cares if it rains. We still have camp! The morning greeted us with a little rain before waking up this morning. It made for a cool and slightly ominous event. The rain passed just after the wake-up bell, which allowed us all to get to breakfast easily. The overnight… Continue reading Tie Dyes and Tigers
The Adventure Begins! The first morning of the June Session. It’s SO quiet before the bell rings.

There are… Continue reading The Adventure Begins

Best of Times Time sure flies in just one week. I know you are excited to see your boys, but it seems like they only arrived yesterday. The boys wandered in this morning with a wonderful greasy, ashen, marshmallow look about them. I think I even saw a few specks of tomato sauce in the… Continue reading The Best of Times

Many of the young guys are doing their best to just get their clothes on straight, let alone get the bed made… Continue reading Waikiki Wednesday
Welcome Junior Campers It was so great to meet everyone today. I want to thank all the parents for putting on a brave face during those morning showers.
