GAC 5K!
On Sunday morning, we gave campers and staff the option to join us for a 5k walk/run around camp. We were SO impressed by how many campers wanted to participate and we had a great time getting some early-morning exercise in before breakfast! Check out some photos here and be sure to look for more posted through Campanion!
Tigers’ Social – Session 3
Tigers are our campers heading into 5th and 6th grades. They’re at a great age for age group socializing and events, and they enthusiastically participated in two nights of our Tigers’ Social, which included socializing, snacks, and a rousing game of Bingo!
Carnival – Session 2
As always, Carnival was a blast for all campers and staff! Check out some highlights from the day here!
Lions’ Social – Session 2
Our Lions campers had a blast at their social on Sunday evening. They had a fun evening of games, laughter, and ice cream!
Bears’ Adventure – Session 2
A highlight of the two-week session for our youngest campers (grades K-3), and their version of backpacking, is Bears’ Adventure. This one-night trip allows campers to experience sleeping outdoors under the stars and cooking over a campfire. Campers’ luggage is taken for them to the campsite, so they are not technically “backpacking,” because they have no pack to carry. With just their water bottle and their positive attitude, they set out from camp singing and talking on their hike.
The best part of Bears’ Adventure is the free time kids get to play and explore the area. For many campers, the longer sticks provide the perfect start to a fort. Others enjoy laying on their sleeping bags talking with friends or silently watching clouds move overhead. Some participate in crafts and games while enjoying being outdoors. For many of these kids, Bears’ Adventure is their first experience “roughing it,” and they absolutely love it.
When they hike back into camp the morning after their adventure, our Bears campers stand a little taller. And their dirty, smiling faces are the best indication that they have experienced the awe of nature.
