It is now noon on Saturday with less than an hour to go until the end of camp. It has been an amazing year – one of the best ever – and we’re sad to see it come to a close. Here are some random videos from Friday’s events along with a few pictures. [imagebrowser id=33]
Wednesday, a.k.a. “Visitor’s Day” has come to a close. Today was the hottest day yet, which is why having the morning teachings in the air-conditioned dining hall is so nice. This morning we had the pleasure of Tim Barnes followed by Randy Evans for the teaching blocks. It was great to have Randy Evans back on camp grounds. It was the first time in 12 years!
Here are audio recordings of the teachings of Monday through Wednesday, including a teaching by Fr. James Ellison, Fr. Joel Weir, Fr. David Wey, Tim Barnes, and Randy Evans. We will post the audio from the remaining teachings on Friday or Saturday. Just click the play button to load and play the teaching. Alternatively you can right-click the link underneath the audio player and download the recording.
It’s Tuesday night at 11:26 PM and I’m finally able to start writing today’s blog post. This is half because of how awesome today was, and half because I was finally able to get all of the photos and video uploaded. It seems as the week goes on there is more to document and less time to do it!

Today was our first full day of camp. The weather has cooled down about 10 degrees and campers’ spirits are high. This morning the first teaching was given by Fr. James Ellison on “What is Good?”, and the second teaching block was reserved for “bishop in the hotseat” featuring Bishop Nathaniel. Both teachings were very informative and the campers were engaged and attentive. Counseling groups got officially underway, during which campers were able to discuss the teachings and anything else on their minds in a smaller group setting.

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. You can always count on Assistant Director Tim Barnes to head up registration and make both new and veteran campers alike feel welcome and wanted at camp. In this clip, … Continue reading
Camp has officially begun for the staff! Today we arrived around 2pm and had our pre-camp meeting in the coolness of the air-conditioned cafeteria. After Edna’s pizza and Small Compline, we headed to the (hot) pool for some evening swim time. The heat was a little unbearable so we had a little time to just hang out in our cabins. In the staff cabin we decided to run through some new songs we’re teaching this year, so we had Emily Farison with the violin in our company. Here’s a clip of Joel Wilson, Tim Barnes, and Luke Beecham listening to … Continue reading
