Camp Champions Blog

We make the Fourth of July a truly special event at camp.

Commercials often talk about “how old you feel”.

We believe in starting and ending everyday with great intentionality and fun.

Dance night at camp is a big deal.

One of my favorite traditions at camp is having campers make their own rules and consequences. 

Few things make me happier than seeing Susie Ma’am giddy.  Being a camp director can feel a little serious at times.  After all, we have an incredibly serious responsibility – your children. One of the tricks to happiness is to remember all the growth and joy and not focus on the potential issues. Each day has more of the former than the latter (many, many times more), but the latter tend to wear on our hearts more.  We worry about the homesick camper, the cabin disagreements and the inclement weather. We consciously choose to focus time each day to hear the stories of campers overcoming fears or honing social skills.

Sometimes, camp slightly modifies priorities.

This week is such a wild ride. It has more activities. The days start earlier and end later.

On Sunday night, we had our second Vespers. On the boys side, I shared my Warrior-Worrier story.  I have included that story as a separate blog today: http://blog.campchampions.com/our-warrior-vs-our-worrier.
