And So It Begins...


Summer 2011 has officially begun!
Precamp staff training finished out well this weekend, with one of the highlights being the Annual Staff Strong Kids Auction. Various businesses around the community donated items to be auctioned off. Along with that, staff offered up their time and talents as auction items. This year, the incredible staff raised a total of $7600 at the auction. That is enough to send more than 10 kids to camp for a week each!! We are so thankful for their generosity and their willingness to help make camp possible for more and more campers each year.
Sunday was the first official arrival day at camp, and it was full of excitement brought on by a year of anticipation.

Over 350 campers arrived for session A to a staff team ready and waiting for a fun filled session. Opening campfire was a hit, and the first day with a full dining hall of campers was loud, but energizing!

I think it is safe to say that we are all very excited for the coming weeks and what the summer has to offer us!
Have a great day,
The Wanakita Staff
