We're back!

Well, it is almost a full month after Camp Timbers 2007 ended, but that doesn't mean that this blog is done. You can still expect to see periodic posts here throughout the year, relevant to camp news and important information! So keep checking back. Today I would like to take the first of three looks back at some of the most fun activities that we did this past summer...


"Midnight Madness" - This past summer, our Assistant Director, Mike Hull, and our Male Village Chief, Mike Houlihan, came up with the idea of a "Midnight Madness." The concept was simple: after our late night mid-session staff meetings on Tuesday of every week, we would go back into camp for some after hours fun. Any kid that wanted to keep sleeping could do so while one of the cabin's counselors stayed with them, but any one else that wanted to go out would do just that. We had a late night game of basketball, jump roping, or just a chance to socialize with their friends after lights out!




After people are done playing with games, they can go and get ice cream!



By the end of the summer, Midnight Madness was viewed as one of the most fun additions to the 2007 summer camp session. All traditions must start somewhere, and I have a feeling that 2007 was the first year for a new Camp Timbers tradition.
