Today, we had a great opening day as Hye Camp welcomed 131 campers, 26 CITs, 30 Staff, 7 clergy, 2 nurses and 6 adult volunteers. After our opening prayer service and welcome in the chapel, we enjoyed a delicious outdoor barbecue with close to 100 guests. After dinner parents and guests said goodbye to their loved ones, so each cabin group could gather and spend some time getting to know each other with icebreakers. The staff and CITs then entertained the campers with skits to teach them about a day in a life at Hye Camp. Next, everyone enjoyed a snack before heading to chapel for Evening Vespers. The campers enjoyed having the clergy come around to their cabins before bedtime for evening prayers and discussions before closing their eyes and getting a good night’s rest.
