The past few days at camp have been AMAZING! Where do we even start? 

A few days ago, lower campers started their day with an epic game of Gold Rush – they were split into teams and busy running all around camp looking for gold! Then, in the afternoon, they participated in what has become a wonderful tradition at camp – Kindness Day. Campers embarked on an epic scavenger hunt, traveling around to different activities, working together as a bunk to accomplish different tasks. We saw lots of teamwork and of course, kindness all around! They ended the evening writing kind messages to bunkmates – something they’ll surely treasure forever. To top it all off, we had authentic Philly soft pretzels for snack – a real camper fave! As lower campers were settling into bed, our upper campers all returned to camp from their trips. They came in buzzing with excitement, sharing stories from the road, but then their heads quickly hit the pillow – they needed to get some rest before jumping back into camp life! 

In addition to our regular programming, yesterday a group of our senior campers got to head out early on a canoe trip – and they had a blast! We also have a former camper visiting who is helping us to paint a new mural outside of Hughie Hall. Campers have been helping, and it’s looking awesome! We can’t wait to show you the finished product. Meanwhile, we’re still playing leagues, creating in art and crafts, cooking delicious treats, adventuring on the ropes course, and so much more! 

It’s really hard to believe that tonight we’ll have our second-to-last Friday night services together before summer 2024 comes to an end. As these final days of July are here, campers are really cherishing all of these special moments with friends! We can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
