Tuesday at Camp

Our day began with fishing at the lake,
About 40 campers woke up early to see who could cast the best bait,
A few fish were caught and promptly returned to their friends,
The campers watched the lake in awe not knowing where it ends.

Next up were classes including bible study and dance,
Not to forget Traditions & Customs and music classes where campers were encouraged to take a chance,
The afternoon sun smiled down on us while we swam, did crafts and enjoyed the outdoors
Then washed up for dinner that was so yummy we all wanted more.

As the sun began to set, we packed up our water bottles and flashlights,
And set off on a fun hike that is always best at night,
It would be easy to think “How could this day get any more amazing?”
But it could, and it did, when we all went stargazing!

Memories from Our First Full Day of Camp

Good morning sun!
You rise in the East and glisten on Ketchoyan Lake
A cool summer’s breeze dances through the trees 
Rustling their leaves to create the sweet tunes of the Sequoias 
Bullfrogs croak off in the distance while swallows chatter and chirp 
Worshiping together, enjoying God’s splendor and giving thanks
Good morning sun!

It was a fantastic first full day of Hye Camp! 

Some of our activities included:
Morning- Chapel, Armenian History, Bible Study, “Getting to know you” ice breaker activities
Afternoon- lakeside, archery, volleyball, basketball, soccer and arts & crafts
Evening - all camp photo, num nums and campfire

We are excited to see what today will bring.  
Good Morning, campers!

Week 4 has started!!!

What an amazing first day of camp! It may have taken a little while longer than usual, but everyone arrived safely. After settling in everyone got to meet their cabin mates and it was off to Chapel followed by our first dinner as a camp family. Evening activities began with the much anticipated ice cream social which then led into our first campfire full of Boghos Zilch, a special performance by our directing staff and good old camp chants. All of the cabins took their pictures today and we have included them here for you to enjoy. We look forward to all the excitement in our first full day of camp tomorrow!
