Cabin Overnights It was another great day at Camp High Rocks.  The boys are not even showing any signs of fatigue yet.  It’s coming, but I have been impressed with their stamina.  We rocked right into another day of activity rotations.  The boys are getting to re-visit some activities to pick up where they left… Continue reading Jersday Thursday

Waikiki Wednesday It sure was a beautiful and cool morning here up the mountain.  The sun was poking through some smokey fog that made it look like the sky was on fire.  As the warm lake created some additional steam in the cool mountain air, it sure seemed pretty delightful outside for an August day. … Continue reading Waikiki Wednesday

Tie-Dye Tuesday The first morning at camp began, for most, a bit earlier than the 7:45 wakeup bell.

The cool breeze blowing in off… Continue reading Tie-Dye Tuesday
