Family Camp - An Evergreen Favourite

There are very few better ways to finish off a summer camp season than Family Camp. We love Family Camp here at Evergreen. The schedule is relaxed and it's super fun to engage with kids and parents in our activities and games.

The weather held - it was cold(er) than we would have liked but hey - it didn't snow like it did in 2015 - right? So things were looking up right from the beginning.

Ruth Peters joined us as the speaker this last weekend and engaged our community by doing a fort building exercise. It was hilarious to watch the different families run to their cabins to pull their mattresses out to make their fort bigger and better.

We want to thank all of our volunteers and families that joined us on the Labour Day weekend. It was a fantastic mix of new families and returning families and our staff and volunteers, as usual, pulled out all of the stops.

Family Photos was a really fun addition to the schedule this year.

And seriously - if you thought Jug 'n' Jog in the summer is intense with all of the staff and campers? You should come witness the parents play against the staff and kids during family camp. It is quite the sight to see.

It won't be long before the time comes to start thinking about registering your son, daughter, or family for next year's camp. We will be announcing dates in the middle of October and opening registration at the beginning of January. You do not want to miss out.

Thanks again for a fabulous end to this year's summer camps. 333 kids made first time or rededications to God this summer...333 - roll that number around in your head a few times and then praise Jesus for it. It is through Him that we are able to see that happen at camp and we just want to keep sharing about the amazing things that we get to be a part of.

Next week we'll be introducing you to our Generation 5 Germans and a couple other international staff who have joined us for the fall.

Peace out!
