I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks since we closed camp.

I want to thank the 55 volunteers who put in about 1,300 hours of work between June 6th and June 12th to help make this year special for 60 youth.

386 hours were just the parents, grandparents, and friends who stepped up to help walk the campers from station to station. THANK YOU!

809 hours are for the staff to help teach and entertain the campers (especially when stuck under the shelter). YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!

95 hours were put in to help set up and tear down camp. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Every one of these volunteers deserves a huge pat on the back!

Without you, Day Camp would not be possible! Thank you so much!

Yesterday was a great end to camp.

Campers spent the morning shooting and playing field sports.
We had Hot Dogs and Chips and the campers gave us a lunch presentation.
Then the campers took their parents to show them all the fun they had.
We packed up camp and headed out.

It's sad to not be out there today, but looking at all these pictures makes it better.

We'll finish closing the book on this year and start preparing for next year's camp.

Stay tuned.°.° for.°.°. under ° water °° adventures.°.°.°°

We have one more amazing day planned for the campers tomorrow.

While I hate to think of camp being over already, I do have one request to make.
We have to tear down camp directly after ending activities (4pm).

Anyone who can come help (or stay to help) will be greatly appreciated.
Especially if you can help haul some of the multiple loads of gear from camp to storage.

I'm so glad we had stations most of the day.
We had snakes, turtles and frogs to learn about.
We had a amazing lunch program with our solar pictures.
We had S'MORES at cooking (and yes... quite a few kids went home with marshmallows smeared across their face)

We'll be back Friday for more fun adventures!

And, as always, feel free to post your pictures here.

Due to the severity of the storms forecasted for Thursday, June 11th; we are going to cancel camp.

We will reopen Friday morning with FULL FORCE FRIDAY!

FULL FORCE FRIDAY will include all the field activities that kept getting cancelled when the thunder rolled in.
We will still open the camp to Family Friday after lunch.

Look forward to BBs, Archery, Gaga Ball (Field Sports) and I've heard a rumor about bringing in SlingShots!

Huge shout out to Illinois State Police K9 unit and Troop 2 AND The Better Fishing Association for both coming out to educate and entertain the campers today.

We learned how to fish with leeches and with dogs!

We made it to stations!!!! (for most of the day)

I'm so proud of these campers flowing with the changes while we work to keep them safe. We'll do stations in the rain, but once that thunder rolls, we have to stay under the shelter.

But, based on these pics, I think they were only slightly disappointed.

Again, if you have more pictures of camp, post them here!

Tomorrow's Weather:
Tuesday - Partly sunny, with a high near 87. West southwest wind 5 to 10 mph.

Looks like we'll get out from under the shelter and to stations tomorrow! 🎉

Keep the rain gear in their bags, just in case!
