Wacky Western Thursday
Today was Outback Day in Outdoor Explorers. Outback Day is a day when choice periods are a bit longer so campers can really get into an activity, go on a longer hike, complete a special challenge, do a more in-depth craft, or fish from another dock around the reservoir. Today campers did lots of fishing, […]
Teriffic Tuesday
Today was filled with many fun activities. Campers did a lot of fishing down on the docks. Many explorers reeled in fish and/or crawdads making for lots of action and excitement for Fisherman Josh and myself!

Thanks to everyone who made it out the reservoir for our closing circle today! All of the groups performed skits and did a great job! Campers rehearsed and presented them for the entire camp and all the parents that were there. I was so proud of them!
Outdoor Living with Calder
Today the Outdoor Explorers built shelters out of tarps and rope. Most campers had used tents before but this was a new experience that they really excelled at. Campers showed great teamwork and communication skills. They worked together to secure the ropes to the trees and bring the tarps up over the ropes. By the […]

Warm Wednesday
The last two days have been quite warm and today was a “beat the heat day” for sure! Campers were able to stay cool and have fun at the same time as we spent more time playing games in the shade, took extra water breaks, and had some spray water bottle spritzes as a refreshing way […]
