Dear Lovelies,
Hello Muddah, hello Faddah
Here I am at Camp Grenada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining
Camp. This summer has been a whirlwind of summer camp experiences! Immersed in the chaos of the week, it is sometimes difficult to appreciate the magical memories that a week of songs, stories, crafts, crying, laughing, and screaming can create. Camp songs are universal – the lyrics may change but the best are always with actions, repetition, and if you’re lucky, speed! The stories are the ones told or heard: I was privileged to witness some camp stories from senior students who related their journeys to learning how to pick up the cross of Christ, whether that was literally carrying someone’s burdens or figuratively while listening to one another. Camp crafts tend to be bigger than any other time of year – if you see powdery prints in the Sunday School hall, it’s just corn starch – slime, yarn monsters, and aquariums, oh my! And always, always the emotional arc for campers, counselors, leaders, and parents cannot be matched. Summer camp at home or away is an experience no one should miss. And while summer 2025 has come to a close… registrations for 2026 will be opening soon!
Happy Day!
Traci Billman, Director of Christian Education
