First Night of Summer Camp 2011

This has already been a great year so far, and it’s only the end of the first night. It’s weird having over 100 people here – weird in a good way! There are so many new faces and so much anticipation for a great week. Here are some videos from the first night of camp. Make sure you watch Josh Clemens get a plate of whipped cream to the face.

For the benefit of the first-time campers and familiar faces alike, introduction activities commenced immediately, including camp orientation, followed by ice-breaker games in the tabernacle, followed by Edna’s pizza for dinner, and rounded out nicely with some quality singing and praise time. This was probably the most enthusiastic opening … Continue reading
