A whirlwind of Flying Cloud - Farm & Wilderness

Written by Kory Mathis | June 20, 2007

Hello everyone! I’m just coming out of the woods for a quick minute to say hello, and let you know that we’re thrilled to be having campers arriving Sunday! Families and campers should show up on Sunday the 24th, beginning around one and ending around four.

We’ve been busily setting up the camp, starting with a trailer full of canvases for lodges, kitchen equipment, library books and lots of fun games! So far we have all the camper and staff lodges up, the food shelter clean and ready to go (we made coffee cake in the oven!) and the crafts lodge in the works. By the time you get there, camp will be spick and span and ready for all kinds of fun!

One thing I’m excited about is the brand new Flying Cloud library/medical center/trips and instrument storage building! Don’t worry, there’s only one wall, and the roof is translucent. It’s in the same spot as the old one, but this one is custom built with lots of great input, and we’re really excited to start making it our own. Thanks to Woody for his hard work! Here’s a photo:

We’ve also been working on some staff training, including a fire stalk, a few emergency drills, talk of all the fun activities we want to lead, and of course we’ve been practicing some of the games we hope to play this summer!

Finally, we got to test out all the structures last night in a big old thunderstorm, and I’m happy to say everyone stayed nice and dry! See you soon!
