Summer 19' In Review: A Few Good Photos

Oh, it's still September, which means we're still strolling down the memory lane of Summer 2019!

Yup, we've got photos to share, like:


A CLASSIC Saturday morning Camp photo. (Thanks, Cindy.)


A flashback from Summer 2013...



That ties all the way into Summer 2019.

Our intrepid Junior Counselors.




And some...

Digital copies...

Of some...

Old school...

(Yet timeless!)

4-H Camp...

Polaroids...

Capturing...

Those random...

And wacky moments.




And! If you'd like to not just stroll down memory lane, but stroll down a real life trail, join us for some more extended summer at Fall Family Hike Day, this Saturday!

Registration closes tomorrow afternoon, so sign up here and now!

Summer '19 In Review: Greatest Hits Album

Songs are a huge part of what makes Camp so campy, and original camp songs are even campier than that.

This summer, our camper Alexander earned the title of Official 4-H Camp Lyricist with his many original tunes summing up Summer 2019. 

At the end of the summer he promised a collection of all our favorites, but as we wait for the album to drop, he has been kind enough to release the album artwork to tide us over.

Enjoy. (And thanks, Alexander!)

Summer 2019 In Review: And Come September...

Happy September, Campers, Counselors, and Camp Families, and all the rest!


As we all go back to school, or work, or what-ever-else-we-do when Summer Camp ends, we like to spend the month of September fondly recalling the summer season that was.

To do so, we'll be sharing some photos that didn't quite make the blog yet, as well as collecting some pictures and memories from campers as well. (So if you've got some good photos from 2019, send them my way!)


We'll kick it all off with a few as-of-yet-unseen photos from Friday evening, Session #5:



Like pictures of this shirt my friend Shannon got me!
Pictures of CITs!


Pictures...


Of Camp Friends..

At the Camp Shmance!



Pictures of Camp siblings!



And some...

Behind the scenes...

Photos...

Of immediately after...

Our CampPandemonium...


Closing Campfire.

Complete with...

Musical guest.


So yes, we'll keep the Summer 2019 memories coming all September long, as we all transition into whatever the fall has in store for us. So share your Camp pictures with me,  and I'll help share them with everyone else.

AND, if you'd like to fondly recall Summer 2019 in person, join us here September 21st-22nd for Fall Family Hike Day! It's a great chance to spend a little more quality time at Camp with quality Camp people before the weather gets cold. We'll hope to see you here!

End of Season: 2019

How do you even ATTEMPT...

To sum up...

Something as UN-SUM-UP-ABLE...

As a full summer season at 4-H Camp!?!

You can't! You just can't do it!

So instead of attempting the impossible...

Here are just a few...

More pictures...

Of the people...

Whose hard work...

And dedication...

Made all...



That...




Good...

Camp magic...

Happen...


All summer long.


And that's a wrap!

That's Summer 2019 at 4-H Camp! Put it in the books!

Thanks to everyone in our Camp Family and Camp Community for building another wonderful summer in the woods with us.

We'll be back with this here blog in September, to share some more photos and more stories of the summer as we "remember our camping days and friendships true".

In the mean time, you know how it goes: At Summer Camp the end of August, the end of the season, and the end of a summer are for...

NAPPING.

Session #7: One More Day In the Camp Life

At 4-H Camp...

It's the simple things...

That tend to be...

The most extraordinary.


Simple things...


Like...

A surprise...

Impromptu...

Outdoor...

Breakfast...

Beside...

The lake...

With all...


Your best...


Camp friends.




Yes,


It's...




Simple things...

Like...

Playing...

A gameshow...

In a field...

On a...

Sunny...

August afternoon...


That we...

Pretty much...

Just...

Make up...

As...

We...

Go...


Along.

It's simple things!

Like spending...

Ten...

Quick...

Minutes...

Enjoying...

All our...

Campy moments...

One more time...

For...

Summer 2019.

It's all... 



Of us...

Together...

As Camp Family...

Celebrating...

One more...

Session...

Of Camp...

With...

One more...

Night...

Of closing ceremonies.

'Cause...

When you've had...

A week...

And a summer...

That was...

THIS good...

It takes...

A lot of ceremonies...

To close it out right.

And on top of that...

We throw in...

The Camp Schmance!

Which is a fancy way...

Of saying we simply...

Have a big party...

In our pavilion...

Jumping around...

Dancing and celebrating...

That we get to...

Enjoy one more night...

All together...

In our Camp Community.

Cause after all...

At 4-H Camp...

It's the simple things...

That tend to be...

The most extraordinary.
