Greetings Parents! Are you ready for a week at home without your camper or campers? This week at Asbury Hills appears to be a little different. Jr. & Sr. High Campers have arrived today as I'm sure you're aware. Elementary age campers will be arriving later in the week to join the fun!
My role is serve as a middle person, so to speak. To give you an idea of what's going on throughout the week. I visit the camp periodically through the week just to watch, talk to the kids, and talk to the counselors. It's been an interesting summer so far to watch camp happen from this perspective. I'm used to the person planning, running, playing, and making sure everything is running smoothly. Sitting on the sidelines and just watching is something I'm not accustomed to doing. I'm really enjoying watching the whole process unfold with different eyes.
I have four kids of my own. Two of them just finished a week at camp and had a total BLAST!! In fact, my daughter didn't stop talking for the whole 2 hour ride home. My son started talking around 7 PM that night and didn't stop until he finally fell asleep. They had a lot of fun and are ready to go back. I found myself wistfully remembering the quiet while they were gone!
I will be receiving the schedules of each of the groups at camp for the week and will share with you what they're up to. My hope is that you will use this blog to ease any concerns, ask any questions, and brainstorm any ideas you have to help make camp a better experience for you as a parent and your kids.
I really appreciate any feedback you might have to share with me. Tell me about your check in experience. Let me know if you get any letters from your kids during the week and let me know what they have to say. If you'd like for me to very discreetly check in on your kids while I'm at camp I'd be happy to do that as well.
Have a great week! Check back each day for a new update!

Thanks for setting up this blog. Our check in went smoothly. Joey was excited to be returning to camp this year, it is such an exciting experience for him and he loves it and I as his Grandma am very excited for him to be experiencing camp and Christain fellowship and worship. I would like to follow his days at camp and look forward to your daily blogs. My campers name is Joseph Rix and he is 11 years old and he is in the Trillium cabin. Thank you again, Polly Twigg
ReplyDeleteCheck in was great! A lot quicker than the "old days" 12 years ago with my oldest daughter. I too am looking forward to reading your blog and learning what their day has been like. We were told they would be camping on Tuesday! Wonder if they will pitch a tent or sleep under the stars?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to viewing pictures on the Bunk1 site when they get posted.
Thanks so much for your blog Sharon
