Saturday (MIDE)

On the last day of camp, I typically ask the campers for a one word description for the entire week.  This morning at breakfast, everyone enjoyed cinnamon buns with their meal and they were a huge hit.   While eating, these comments were shared by the kids this morning.

• Glamorous.
• Nicetobewithmycousins.
• Fantastic
• Fun.
• Good.
• Awesome.
• Alright.
• Exciting.
• OK.
• Cinnamon.

One camper had to leave early this morning.  Before his parents came, he and some others went on a short hike.  It was during the hike that he shared that Redwood Glen is the best place on earth because you get to know about God and camping.

Camp can be a life changing experience.  We appreciate the opportunity to serve your children.

Friday (MIDE)

I found this group to be very active but less likely to share much with me.  Breakfast was pretty much the same on Friday.  They are having a good time but getting them to say much is difficult.  Having said that, here are the comments for today.

• Bacon rules.
• Skits last night were great.
• Jesse's grandma.
• He who must not be named modeled in the talent show.
• The togas at the show were valued at $300.
• It has been a good morning.
• The hand puppets were really good.
• Liked the talent show.
• French Toast is da bomb.

One camper had to leave early for a piano recital.  As he was leaving, he proclaimed Redwood Glen as the best camp he has ever been to.

When you pick up your children on Saturday morning, don't forget that the Children's Music and Drama Camp will be performing for their parents.  All are welcomed to sit and enjoy the performance.  After, we will be playing a few games (pie eating contest and egg toss) for all to participate.  We will be awarding camp scholarship money to the winners.  Why not join us for lunch ($7.00) and some fun?

Thursday both CMAD and MIDE

I spoke with the nurses this morning about their experience at Redwood Glen this summer. 
They said that all the kids are very nice and they enjoy working with them.  They feel this is a nurses dream job and at some points, its like a vacation.  We have two on camp this week and one of them told me that she would definitely be returning next year.  Yea!
