Interviews

[August 6th]

Cabin 3 divided up and interviewed a camper they didn't know well then reported back to the whole group.


Thank you St. Paul's

Yesterday, the campers from St. Paul's Duluth each received a package at mail time containing coloring pages, snacks, glow sticks, and much more.   We feel so thankful and blessed to be supported by our home church.  (Special thanks to Sue Van Oss)



"Remote Support"

The very happy staff thank you very much and wish you would have been able to be here.

Happy staff.  Thank you!

It's Monday Morning!

Well we all survived the rain last night with only a couple pairs of wet tennis shoes.  All of our spirits are still high and we can't wait to get to the stage to dance.

We introduced the rules for the white sock awards this morning with a lot of enthusiasm. Every single camper was paying attention as soon as we mentioned the prize of a free canteen item.  The white sock award is given out by our very own Kjersten Rice who gets to go around during the day and check out every cabin for cleanliness.  The cleanest two cabins every day get the coveted white sock and an item of their choice at the next canteen.  Of course everyone has their plans but we will have to wait to see who does the best job keeping things tidy.

We're off to our morning rotations of bells, grums, dancing and choir so we'll check in again later after we've hopefully dried off a bit.

Sunday camp fire and Sunday pictures.

The Sunday night campfire pictures are up!  Here are a few, for the rest, check out the photo album.
