SUNDAY - 7/5

SUNDAY

Today was opening day!! We are so excited to meet the new campers joining us and to greet familiar faces this Sunday afternoon.

After campers arrived and settled into their cabins they did tours of camp before enjoying a cookout of hamburgers, potato salad, chips, watermelon and cookies all together out in the field.

Once campers finished dinner we got straight into our evening activity which was duck hunt, everyone found lots of ducks but Grandfather Mt. won in the end!

To end our night campers enjoyed a snack and a soda then played games until flag lowering and a vespers ceremony led by counselors on the camps virtues and how we are connected with one another.
