Great Photos of a Great Gathering!

Last weekend...

Marked one of our favorite...

Off-season...

Events:

Winter Gathering!

If you weren't...

Able to join us...

We hope all...

These pictures...

Will make you feel...

Like you were right there...

With us.

And this Winter Gathering...

Had a rare...

And special...

Quality:

It was actually...

Wintry! 

It's usually like...

58 degrees...

And rainy...

For Winter Gathering!

But not this year!

This year it was cold!

This year it was...

Snowy!

This year it was...

Icy!

And that means...

We could do...

Cold,

Snowy,

And icy things!

What kind...

Of cold,

Snowy,

Icy things?

Well,

Mostly just...

Sledding...

Down the bowl...

Over...

And over...

And over again.

Yes,

There were...

Advantages...

To having...

A Winter Gathering...

That was actually...

Wintry!

For instance,

The photos...

Are definitely...

Better...

With a seasonal...

Backdrop.

And!

When it's this cold out...

It's even nicer...

To get OUT of the cold...

And back into the Dining Hall...

To warm up...

Around the fire.

But, of course...

The very best...

Aspects...

Of Winter Gathering...

Aren't weather dependent...

At all.

Cause when the Camp Family...

Gets together...

To catch up...

Over a little quality time...

In early December,

No matter the temperature,

It feels like perfect...

Winter Gathering weather.

(Oh, and also!

We raffled off some of the Campfire Council's brand-new Cabin T-Shirts!

Get your favorite cabin here and now! All profits go directly to our Campership Fund.)

Special thanks to all...

The attendees...

Donors...

And staff volunteers...

Who made Winter Gathering possible.

You all help keep a wintry summer camp...

Merry and bright.

Cabin Sign Online Store: Now Open!

SHOP HERE AND NOW!

We're introducing brand-new 4-H Camp gear/swag/merchandise/clothing/whatever-you-want-to-call it!

As we previewed at our Winter Gathering (photos of that wonderful event coming your way soon!), we've now got Cabin Sign shirts (and more!) for every single cabin on 4-H Camp.

Campers can proudly represent their cabin from Summer 2019!

Alumni can proudly wear the cabin from their more memorable summer!

Staff can proudly display their favorite cabin assignment they've ever had!

Represent YOUR cabin with a ton of customizable wearable gear right here! The Cabin Sign Shop is exclusively online, and available for only a limited amount time. (There's also still plenty of time to get your orders shipped for holiday gifts!)

This store is brought to you by our Campfire Council (our friends-of-Camp-alumni group), and all money raised will go directly to supporting our Campership Fund for 2020 and help get some kids who couldn't afford it otherwise a week at 4-H Camp.

Very special thanks to our Counselor Erin Buquicchio for doing these great cabin signs designs for us.

So: pick your cabin, get your stuff, and support the Campfire Council's Campership Campaign!

 

Decorating Camp for Winter Gathering!

Yes, Winter Gathering is THIS Saturday,

December 7th, from 2pm-6pm!

And to prepare,

Before we decorated the inside of the Dining Hall...

We thought we'd decorate the outside of Camp...

To make it look...

Just a little more...

Wintry.

A little snow here...

A little ice...

There...

And 4-H Camp...

Starts to look seasonal...

Right away.

Special thanks, of course, to yesterday's... 

Massive snow/ice storm...

For its assistance in helping us prepare for Winter Gathering.

Come see the 4-H Camp's wintry look in person this Saturday!
