Fun, Sunshine, and Humble Service

Greetings from Camp Hamilton on this beautiful sunny morning. This has been a busy session so far with ministry hikes, horseback riding, plenty of time swimming and boating in the lake, and lots of other activities. This session we're talking about what it means to be a "humble servant" and how to live that our in our lives here at camp and at home. With the weather so nice all the campers and staff are looking forward some time on the climbing wall, a little archery, and maybe a hike up to the Hobbit House. Check back soon to see what other fun things the campers and staff at Hamilton are up to.

Camp at Hamilton has been Amazing!

So I apologize for not posting the last few days. The internet at camp is not always very fast, so I couldn't get a picture to load. Anyway camp is going really well.

We had an epic game of sticks (like capture the flag). The campers defeated the staff 3:0. They worked well together as a team.

We didn't get any rain on the overnight and the campers had a blast making smores and building forts.

We have had some powerful faith sharing sessions focusing on gifts and how to use our gifts to serve others.

The sun finally came out today and we are all looking forward to swimming!

I hope you've had a great week like we have and we look forward to seeing you all at pick up tomorrow.

Camp Hamilton

Good Morning from Camp Hamilton!

Camp is underway at Hamilton and things are going great. It was raining off and on yesterday, but we still had a rocking campfire and some great games.

We had our first sunrise activities of the summer. At Hamilton Campers can chose to wake up early and do some choice activities, like a polar bear swim, a morning jog, or singing on the porch. Check out the picture of our first polar bear swim!

Reaching New Heights Campaign Extended to July 15th
Camp Hamilton's old high ropes course, which is a vital part of our programming, will not be useable this summer. We've already raised $2,255 toward the new course as of June 15th. We need of your help to fundraise the additional $1,800 for a new Vertical Playpen Element. $5, $10, $15, or $50 any amount helps! Over 500 campers will experience the new element this summer alone. This element will help teach campers cooperation, goal setting, and problem solving. The highest fundraising team or page will get to name the new element. Anyone who donates over $100 will get recognized on a plaque at the course.
