Tuesday - Day 3 of Y5 Camp

Monday - Day 2 of Y5 Camp

Well this morning the camp woke up to the continued sound of rain splattering on the rooftops and forming into big puddles. Instead of sitting around with nothing to do, staff and campers got creative!

When life rains on your parade, ... go puddle jumping!!

Monday - Y5 - Not going to dampen our spirits!

Well last night was a little rainy, and the rain is still trickling. But we didn't let it dampen our spirits!! Last night for wide game we played an intense game in the chapel where everyone had to work together to pass balls back and forth to throw them into buckets to get points!


The rain is still trickling down but we aren't stopping activities. Some skills this morning will be changed slightly due to weather, but camp isn't going to stop over a little precipitation!! We thank God for all the rain after the hot week we had last week!

Thursday - Day 5 of Y4 Camp

Today was the last full day of camp. Tomorrow campers are being picked up and are heading home. It was a good week and a lot of friendships have grown stronger, at the same time new friendships have been started.

Too bad the week has to end. As one camper said today, "I wish I could live at camp!"

Wednesday - Day 4 of Y4 Camp

A lot of fun happened in the water today during swim time. Lots of laughs and tons of fun!


With the temperature hitting around 32 degrees (C) today, the time in the water was especially appreciated!

Tuesday - Day 3 of Y4 Camp

This morning we had a great start to the day with an amazing breakfast of pancakes, sausages, and oranges! Delicious!! And the day is only going to get better!

Then after breakfast, campers went back to their cabins to clean up their bunks and give the whole cabin a shine. It was then time to head to activities! These boys had a great time playing Lacrosse in the field with a couple staff members keeping them inside the boundaries!

Monday - Day 2 of Y4 Camp

Today we got to do different skills that the campers signed up for on the first night. Here, a bunch of girls got to go sailing! What a wild ride!

Sunday - First Day of Y4!

Tonight we got to know each other by getting into our cabin groups and doing a 'TDA' (Team Development Activity). These girls did the "Gordian Knot" where they get tangled up and must then work together to get untangled and end by all being in a complete circle without ever letting go of each other's hands.


We played a wide game, had some snack, and then had loads in fun in chapel. Then it was off to bed to make sure we all have energy for the fun activities we'll be doing tomorrow!

Thursday - Last day of K1 and K2

This morning we had a fun-filled exciting Carnival! With clowns, face-painting, water balloons, mock-fishing, the zip-line, and much much more!! What a great way to finish off the last day at camp!

Tuesday - Day 3 of K1 Camp

Tonight we had a talent show! Many campers and cabin groups went in front of the camp and performed various talents such as stand up comedy, singing, pillow dancing, and many more!

What a fun night! Lots of laughs!

Monday - Day 2 of K1 Camp

We had some computer glitches yesterday when trying to update the blog, so here is the Monday update!


We had a lot of fun learning new skills and making new friends throughout the day! Here a camper is learning the fine skill of wall climbing!

Stay tuned for a Promo Video for Camp Sagitawa that should be uploaded in the next day or two!

Sunday - First Day of K1!

Right now the camp is bustling with tons of new campers and parents going through the process of registering and finalizing payments. There is a buzz in the air as campers get settled into their cabins, meet their cabin leaders, and learn about all the fun and exciting things they'll be doing this week!

Stay tuned for more updates!!

SWAT Trip Left Today

This morning our first SWAT outtrip left the camp to begin their three day trek where they will be canoing down the upper Moberly River which drains back into Moberly Lake which will lead them back to the camp on Sunday afternoon/evening.


Have fun kids!

Wednesday - Day 4 of Y3 Camp

A very cool action shot of a camper enjoying his skill time at Archery!

Tuesday - Day 3 of Y1 Camp

Today during WACT time, many campers got the opportunity to go tubing! Our male head cabin leader, Jeff, really took them for a ride behind his boat!

Monday - Day 2 of Y3 Camp

Today, among all the exciting activities and events that camp has to offer, campers were able to partake in their chosen skills. Here's a picture from the Guitar class earlier this morning:

Thursday Night - Last night of Y2 Camp

Well tonight was a lot of fun! A couple cabin groups decided to end camp off with a bang by either sleeping outside in the field, doing wacky stuff in the cabins, or as the one picture below shows, one lucky cabin number 9 got to roast marshmallows and make smores by the lake!


The sky was clear tonight and the full moon really lit up the whole lake for a very beautiful scene. Campers leave tomorrow and the staff will be sad to see them go, but some are returning again next summer, so see you then!!

Wednesday - Day 4 of Y2 Camp

What a day so far! Right now the sound of over a hundred kids running around laughing and yelling is consuming the camp. It is WACT time and campers have their choice of going water tubing, canoeing, kayaking, going down the zip line and climbing the wall. If those don't appeal to the campers, they can go spend a little money at our Tuck Confectionary shop to get a little snack and hang out on the beach with other campers and staff.


As usual, our media team is walking around taking many pictures and videos to capture the camp experience that will be compiled into camp journals and DVDs respectively to sell to campers and parents from the Tuck shop.

Monday - Day 2 of Y2 Camp

Well its been a little rainy, so our camp photographer has had a hard time getting some action shots of the last day's activities.

But while the rain spitted, we didn't let it dampen our spirits! Last night the cabin groups got together to do their TDA's (Team Development Activities) to build trust and relationship. All the groups got really creative and everyone had a blast!


Right now, its 1:23 on Monday afternoon and after a delicious lunch of Mexican wraps and salad, everyone is energized and headed out for WACT (Waterfront, Arts and Crafts, and Tuck) time! The sun is starting to poke it's head out from the clouds and the day looks very promising!

Thursday - Day 5 of Y1 Camp

Its been another busy day at camp and the media team (also fondly known as the J-Team) are busy working well into the night preparing and finalizing the weekly journal and DVD to sell to campers tomorrow when parents come and pick them up! A lot of work has been going into these projects and will definitely be an excellent keepsake for campers and parents.


It will be sad to see campers leave, but thankfully the journal and DVD will keep the memories from this past week alive until next summer's camp! These journals and DVD's are made unique for each individual camp and are great for showing friends and family what Camp Sagitawa is all about!
