August 7: Celebration Day

Today is officially the last day of operations at Camp Lookout for the summer! We invite any and all friends to come out to camp this afternoon for free activities and hot dogs. The climbing wall and low ropes course will be open, as well as the pool and several other fun activities for visitors to do!

We have had an incredible summer this year at camp, and look forward to celebrating its conclusion with everyone. See you next year!

August 1-5: Celebration Camp

This week, we have our last week of camp for the summer! It's always a bittersweet week, but made much sweeter by the joy of Celebration Week. Celebration Week is for exceptional older youth and adults, and we welcomed around 60 excited campers on Monday!

Today was our first full day of activities, which included a trip to the IMAX theater, archery, boating, crafts, noodle games, and low ropes. This afternoon the fun continues with swimming, a movie (Sleeping Beauty), crafts, and practicing for Thursday night's talent show.

July 25-29: Older Elementary, OHA

Today was our last full day of activities for our older elementary group! We also welcomed back our OHA group from their river trip. Last night, we had a great time camping either under the stars or under the roof of the Emmaus Chapel.

Tonight, we will having communion and worship at the Maynard Worship Center, which is always a special and treasured time for all.

Tomorrow, pick up is at 2pm-- don't forget to bring $10 cash or check for your picture CD/DVD!

July 25-29: Older Elementary, OHA

We're halfway through the week here at camp! This is the second day of activities for our older elementary campers, and we said goodbye to our OHA groups this morning when they left for their river trip! We won't see them again until Thursday night. We also said goodbye to our first Taste of Camp group this morning, and welcome another group in this afternoon.

Last night, we had a busy evening with tons of fun activities! Older Elementary campers participated in a fun adventure game before going to the chapel for dancing. Then, we went to the fire circle for s'mores and campfire songs! Tonight, we're having a campout where campers can choose to sleep in the upper field or in the Chapel.

July 25-29: Older Elementary, OHA

We got started with another great week for CL this morning! We have a wide range of age groups joining us this week for camp. Older Elementary campers (including several horseback groups) are picking their activities for the week this morning, and two groups of OHA (Outdoor High Adventure) campers begin their activities this afternoon. We also have a Taste of Camp group that is here until Wednesday.

Watch this space for more updates as the week continues!

July 18-22: Younger Elementary, Day Camp, Taste of Camp, and Wrangler Camp

We got off to another great week here at camp this morning! We welcomed Younger Elementary campers (including those in the horseback sampler group), Day Camp Adventurers, our first set of Taste of Campers (affectionately known as "Tastees") and Wrangler Campers (a high school aged group!).

Today, campers have signed up for their weekly activities and participated in group building activities.

July 11-15: Jr. High Week, Wednesday and Thursday

Wednesday and Thursday were both great days for activities, although we did have some thunderstorms in the afternoon. Thursday's storms were enough to keep kids out of the pool for the afternoon!

On Thursday night, we had our traditional service of communion at the Maynard Worship Center, as the rain managed to hold off for just long enough. Our celebration afterwards was relocated indoors, however.

Today is the last day for your kids at camp! I hope that they come home full of good stories and excitement. Closing is at 2pm in the Chapel, and we will be selling a 2-CD/1-DVD set of pictures for the week for $10!
