Showdown at Camp Heart Connection

Wednesday’s Message from Camp Heart Connection Director, Channon Timm, “They say laughter is the best medicine and camp is the place to laugh and be silly!”

Do you recognize this staff member? (on the right) Carolyn Bygness of our Health Team in 1994!

Today’s theme was Showdown at Camp Heart Connection. This was originally the theme in 1994. 

One of the most memorable camp activities (at least for the girls) happened today. Aunt Fifi’s Princess Tea Part was held in Chase Lodge for girls ages 5 through 12.

Before the tea party, campers got dressed in the finest camp attire of donated prom and formal dresses. The little girls had fun helping each other dress. Even their counselors got in on the fun! Snacks were served and campers participated in a princess themed craft project.

During open activities today a basketball tournament was held. Many cabins participated! 

After dinner everyone gathered at the camp stage for the annual Camp’s Got Talent Show. Just before the show began 2 campers and 2 counselors cut their hair to donate to Locks of Love.

 Each cabin created a short production to share with other campers. We saw everything from skits to songs and dance. There were a lot of laughs!
