Winter Camp Running Well

December 30, 2023

Winter Camp is off to a great start. We had only a short delay for one of the flights coming in, which was so much better than last year. All the campers and staff arrived safely—and excited about camp.

We have had a mild winter here so far and have no snow or ice, but we are making the best of it. We have had to make some changes with the activities, but I think the campers will still enjoy...

Winter Camp Begins

December 27, 2022

While Winter Family Weekend comes to an end today, Winter Camp began yesterday. There was some concern since a few flights were delayed, but in the end, all but one of the campers who were flying in made it.
