Being that we are in the middle of Week 2, we thought it was appropriate to now introduce our Summer Staff. Click the link below and to meet the summer counselors who devote their summer to caring, teaching, playing, and praying with your kids:

We hope your summer has been as wonderful as ours has been! As said earlier we are already into our Week 2 of camp. With 185 plus kids we are enjoying the sun and fun of summer camp. Camp is sometimes know a little “behind” on the current events,  but not this week as we, with much else of the world, celebrate the World Cup. Each cabin was given a country to cheer on and last night many of the cabins became ultimate fans for the dance as they painted their faces, arms, and legs with their teams colors.

Last week, our first week of summer camp, seemed to go on without a hitch. Except for the gift of rain brought to us by mother nature. But rain did not get in the way of us having fun, instead we were able to throw an awesome carnival in the dining hall with lots of carnival games and face paint. When it wasn’t raining, campers played in the pool, lake, sports field, archery range, riflery range, etc. And then of course they couldn’t resist the new ga-ga pit. Our new activity “ga-ga” (see earlier post) became the new camp favorite in no time. The theme for last week was “minute to win it”. Kids each night tried to stop the evil mouse from stealing the fun time clock, in which they succeeded! Week 1 ended Saturday as campers headed back home with smiles on their faces and stories to share with their families and friends.

It is still not to late to register for Summer Camp 2010! You can do so online www.thepines.org/register or call our office to get more information. And for those of you who have already attended camp or will be attending, we invite you to sign up for another week as each week is better than the last. Plus, who doesn’t want to stay at camp and play ga-ga the whole summer?!

 Peace.Love.Pines
