I’m always amazed at the capacity for creativity that camp seems to encourage. Of course, an endless supply of costumes doesn’t hurt either. Tonight was “Old Lady Bingo,” a variation on an old favorite. I hope I don’t offend any moms (or grandmoms) tonight, but there were some definite themes…gravity was certainly taking its toll Read more...

Farewell Mini 1 Campers
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
It’s almost getting cliche’ but I do have another little twist to add to today’s weather report. Just as we had finished up at Dolly’s with the Pineview girls, and after a great night at Sliding Rock, we heard a distant rumbling, and it started to sprinkle. I know! Rain? But the flipside of that Read more...
Camp is Hot, Hot Hot…
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
You would be hard pressed to find a single cloud in the sky today, and there was a breeze all day long, but the temperature probably did hit 89 or 90 late this afternoon.

Three Day Trips and the Dating Game!
Monday, June 21st, 2010
Wow…I’m bushed. I think it could have been the cloudless day and high altitude. Or maybe the fact that I got such a great night’s sleep Saturday night into Sunday morning that I stayed up too late last night. It could be that I spent all day hiking in the high Pisgahs with some more Read more...
A Very Busy Day in the Heavenly!
Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Sometimes when I am out of camp, it’s hard to include everything that happened that day. But, I think I have a good handle on the pulse from hanging out with some campers during dinner. We were hither and yon today with lots going on in a typical mid-session day. I’ll start with my GREAT Read more...
