Slip & Slide Kickball
Nothing says summer like a slip & slide, and slip & slide kickball is one of the most popular in Sports & Games. It has not been a “slip & slide friendly” summer, with cooler temperatures and too much rain. But today, the sun was shining and temperatures were in the 80’s, so the afternoon […]

Moments
Life as a camp director is always hectic. Days are crazy and long and it’s easy to get bogged down in the logistics and lose the big picture. And then there are moments. Moments that remind us of why we do what we do. Moments that show us that we are not just giving these […]
Time Flies
Here it is, the last full day of activities for B session. It’s so hard to believe that this session is almost over! The weather has not been super cooperative today, as we had a few rain showers come through and the high didn’t pass 57 degrees. But the sun peeked through several times and […]
