Summer Resident Camp - Week 5 (Day 4)

Today campers were able to sleep in and have breakfast in bed! It was a nice break to be able to get an extra hour of sleep this morning! Campers needed the extra energy for the busy day they had scheduled! Campers went horseback riding through our beautiful trails, conquered the high ropes course 35-ft in the air, and challenged themselves on our new climbing tower! It was a great time! Best of all, we had a Royal Mock Rock at our chapel that overlooks beautiful Piper Lake! Each cabin performed a dance/skit to one of their favorite songs! Campers had a blast dancing and singing the night away!

Summer Resident Camp - Week 5 (Day 3)

Happy Tuesday! This morning we had breakfast in our pajamas! It was a great time! Pajama breakfasts are one of our favorite ways of starting the day! Today campers will be building sandcastles at the beach, boating across our beautiful lake, playing basketball at our sports court and going for a frog hunt around camp! Tonight we are dressing up as pirates and playing Pirateopoly! Campers will have a blast as they move around the game board by going to different locations throughout camp! It's a lot of fun to take a classic board game and mix things up by bringing it to life here at camp! We can't wait for the game to begin!












Mission: Read Campers

Summer Resident Camp - Week 5 (Day 2)

Good Evening! Today has been so much fun! This morning the second group of CITs departed for their 4-day, 3-night canoe trip down the AuSable River! The CITs were so excited as they packed their bags and loaded up the canoes. It's perfect weather for their trip's departure--sunny, blue skies and comfortable temperatures! We can't wait to hear all about their adventure when they arrive back at camp on Thursday! Meanwhile, the rest of camp is busy swimming in the lake, playing sports and games, and learning how to work together as a team on our teams challenge course. Tonight for dinner we are having a Royal Ball! Campers and staff can dress up in their best as we feast on a delicious chicken dinner! There will be kings and queens, princes and princesses, and even a duke and duchess at our royal dinner! After dinner, for tonight's evening activity, campers will be playing Candyland throughout camp!

Summer Resident Camp - Week 5 (Day 1)

Welcome to Pirates and Princesses Week! We have an action-packed week ready for our campers! Right now campers are checking in and moving into their cabins. Once everyone is settled in our staff will be hosting a Pirates and Princesses Traveling Show! Members of our specialty programs will be traveling along to each cabin letting campers know about all of the great activities involved with our specialties! After the show, campers will choose the specialty that they want to be a part of during their week at camp! Tonight we will be having a treasure hunt! A chest of treasure has been buried somewhere on camp! Campers will be looking for clues and following their treasure maps in hopes of being the first group to find the hidden treasure! After that we will be winding down the day with a campfire filled with songs and skits by our great staff! Campers will be dancing and singing by the light of the fire! What a great way to start out our week!
