Ignite 1 rocks the poetry. And canoes.

Ignite 1! We were exactly maxed out this week, with 96 Ignite campers on site. (We also had 7 ARISE campers, 6 PUSH campers, 9 Roughin' It girls and 9 Adventure Classic campers.) Funnest week ever (well, at least till next week comes around!).

Our speaker, Sid Koop, has been excellent! [I will update this part right here with a week-ending summary of Sid's talks.]









In other Ignite 1 news, cabins across the camp are using ... unique ... acrostics and poetry to score (like, we know that Jenny is the nurse/cabin clean up marker, but Jennylp?). For example, Cabin 7 pulled this gem out the other day:

thanks for stopping by. this is a new thing for us so bear with us as we figure out technology. basically we started this blog to create a place where all of our friends can come visit us 24/7/365. and by friends i mean you...yeah you...campers, kids who visit us from schools, church groups, retreaters...and anybody you might haul along for the ride. we'll keep you informed as to what's on the dL as far as programming goes and what the happenings are at camp...and maybe some funny stories to go along with those. please check out Camp Evergreen's main site for any contact information. well - i've gotta get and start prepping for our sr. high retreat this next weekend (sept. 15-17th). until next time this is courtney (aka c-bear...aka cort) signing out. stay strong in his grip.

Keep Calm and Play Jug 'n' Jog

Jug 'n' Jog. If the world could just play more Jug 'n' Jog - I think it would be a happier place. It is quite possibly the number one, most singularly enjoyed game at camp. In fact - there are times when I think kids could come to camp, only play Jug 'n' Jog and leave being the happiest kids on Earth. In fact, we could almost be renamed Camp Jug 'n' Jog. And it's also funny - my computer or iPhone doesn't even recognize the words or phrase as being a spell check. That's when you know you talk about something a lot. You might think that those opening statements are strange or even foreign - maybe you don't even know what Jug 'n' Jog is...well, let me tell you! It's epic, it's fantastic, and it's played with recycling (we have to be good stewards, you know). The concept is quite simple - the field is divided into two halves, each team has a square on it with recycled jugs in it. The goal is to get the other team...
