Boy scouts taught all the children proper flag etiquette.

Campers act out songs at the campfire.
All children pose for the ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open camp. Mayor Davlin in the center.
Evening time of learning activities.
Here children take part in an African Drumming class.
Puppet's welcome our campers as puppeteers.
Boys presented their idea of the next camp mascot. Children worked as a group to create a new mascot, experiencing cooperation and speaking to a group.
Can you guess what the favorite activity at camp is?
Motor boat club members (who suprised
us with new t-shirts), board members and others shared an evening of excitement. The rain held off until
MOST of the boats were back on land.
Children learn to give as they partner with their new "grandmas and grandpas" for the day.
Each day, the "gold dustpan" award goes to the "inhabitants" of the cleanest cabin.
Wrapping their counselors as mummies,
culminated the Scavenger Hunt where children were asked to hunt in their minds to decide what they want to do in the futre and what makes a good friend.
The talent show
