The Experience 08

Activities and Afterglows

2008-07-09T10:44:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys and Girls! I am pumped about camp, and I am excited to be in charge of activities and afterglows. We are going to have an all-camp activity every afternoon that will last about an hour. One of these activities will take place on a giant slip-n-slide. We will also have opportunities for you to play large group games like Ultimate Frisbee, Dodgeball, Volleyball, Soccer, and Basketball. In addition to the all-camp activity and the large group games, you will also have plenty of free time. During free time you can kick back and relax on the beach, fly down the water slide, or ride the zip line. There is also a mini-golf course and batting cage available during this time. On top of that, the climbing wall and high ropes course will be open during free time as well. If you like canoes, they are available too.

After the evening rallies, we will have After Glows! Some of the After Glows that we have planned are the following: Bonfire and S'mores; Open Mic and Skit Night; Counselor Hunt; and so much more.

If you have a talent for open mic night, then you will need to supply everything you need. For example, if you play the guitar and sing, then you need to bring a guitar to play and your vocal chords to sing with.

We do have some activities planed where you will get wet and/or dirty. Make sure you bring an outfit or two that you won't care if it gets ruined.

Again, I am pumped about camp, and I know it is going to be a blast! I am also praying that lives will be changed as a result of experiencing God this week.

Medications that must stay with you

2008-05-30T13:38:00.000-07:00

Hello again everyone,

If you've been to camp before, you may remember that we are very cautious with the medications that are brought in. Please be aware that all campers and staff will be asked to give all their medications, including over-the-counter ones, to the camp nurse during registration, who will dispense them as necessary during the week. This prevents the possibility of medications being lost, mixed up, stolen, or improperly dispensed. If you have something that needs to be kept with you at all times, such as an asthma inhaler or an epi-pen, you will need to bring a note with you from your doctor saying so. Our aim is to make camp a safe experience for everyone, so we thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
