Camp Heart Connection Blast From the Past

This year is the 25th anniversary of Camp Heart Connection and we’re celebrating in a big way! Each day this week is highlighting a past camp theme. Favorite games and activities from that year of camp will be brought back for current campers to enjoy. Each blog post this week will include a trip down memory lane, so follow us all week because you never know who may show up in past camp photos…



Today’s theme is Blast from the Past. This was originally the camp theme in 2003. This was also the first year Camp Heart Connection returned to the Y-Camp in Boone, after spending 10 years at Sunnyside in Des Moines.

Today campers arrived and we couldn’t be more excited about it! Camper registration began at 2:00 p.m. and kept everyone busy until dinner time. After checking in, campers and their parents enjoyed the all camp carnival staffed with volunteers from Phi Theta Kappa chapters across Iowa. 

When the carnival games were through campers said goodbye to their parents and headed to the dining hall for their first camp dinner, lasagna. Before sitting down to eat, campers sang camp grace and other favorite camp songs.

After dinner everyone gathered at the stage for the all camp photo. It took a little work but all 300+ campers and staff were able to squeeze in! Once the picture taking was finished a new camp game, was introduced.

Words with Friends is a popular game available in app form for smart phones and devices. Well we put a Camp Heart Connection twist on the game taking the digital out of it essentially creating a giant outdoor Scrabble game! After a lot of laughs and a great first day, campers headed to their cabins to rest up for tomorrow.
