Wrapping up the summer: IMPACT

Impact, our summer camp for high school students, happens during the last week of our summer season. We love to end our summers with a bang, and this year was no exception! 74 campers came for the week, and it was one of our biggest Impact weeks in a long time.

Mike Perschon has been our Impact week speaker for many years in the past, and this year he based his talks in part around The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe from C. S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. He covered many topics, including the difference between childish and childlike faith, and something about how so many popular love songs are just really terrible (repeat-peat-peat-peat?)

The schedule included exciting late night activities like Cirque de la Groove (with a real live circus performer!), Bible Smugglers (a simulated experience in which campers are transported to South Moscovia where they're given the task of bringing Bibles to members of the persecuted church in North Moscovia), and Camp Evergreen's annual skit night, Homemade Jam. It was definitely a week to remember!

Our staff, like Reilly and Fritzi (Jessica), got really excited about Cirque de la Groove.

With that, Summer 2012 at Camp Evergreen has finished! It was a fantastic summer season. We met so many cool new campers, and we were also psyched to see lots of campers returning! God provided us with an excellent staff team as well - somehow we always had just enough people to make it through every week. Now, we start planning for Summer 2013, so stay tuned!
