Walk of Fame Thursday

It was our last full day of camp this week and so we crammed as much goodness as we could possibly cram into a day! 

The morning theme activity was two parts- first cabins competed in a trivia competition about outer space. Campers had an incredible amount of knowledge about planets and space. After the trivia campers made SUPER cool planet models. First they colored planet outlines and then the connected them to create solar systems.  

It was a great day to have an archery/throwing tomahawk/slingshot competition canoe around the lake play sports go fishing and go swimming. The drama group and dance groups were busy with last minute rehearsal for the talent show and outdoor adventures were building fires and learning how to survive!

The weather wasn’t quite cooperating today and after on and off storms all day we had to move the talent show to Sweeney rather than use the stage at the Friendship Circle. So after dinner cabins headed to Sweeney to watch the FANTASTIC talent show! There were skits dances singing groups jokes and it was amazing to see how much talent our campers and staff have! 

We took a 30 minute break to go to the field run and play like crazy and burn off some of our energy and then we headed to the chapel for our closing Praise and Worship. Since it is the last of the week we did things a little different. Our ‘C’ of the day is COMMUNITY and we talked about all of the people (campers staff parents volunteers donors alumni) who go into making CYC such a strong community. There are other camps out there with similar activities but none can compare to us because we are a community based in faith that comes together to have fun make friends and connect through our shared love of God. That’s pretty powerful! 

Tonight cabins are enjoying one more night together. As this is being typed cabins are busy packing sharing memories of the week and having fun before falling asleep.

"What camp means to me is learning about God, making friends and having fun. But the most important thing is being yourself. We have lots of fun at camp. The counselors are great, the friends are nice, the themes are awesome, and the games rule! When I grow too old to come to camp I want to be a camp counselor, but for now, I will enjoy the fun at camp. See you this year!" - Josh
