Camp Likely 2011
We had another extremely
successful summer of camping
at Camp Likely. Over 200
campers joined us for the
adventure. Nearly every camp
was full, to capacity. Even in
spite of the weather and the
bugs, a good time was had by
all. We are thankful to God for
keeping us safe during camp
time. He always provides and
protects.
Kids Camp 1 was a ton of fun.
We had a number of different
activities with Kate heading up
the programming department
and Melissa assisting her. The
sun decided to return, forcing the
bugs to leave. We were
extremely happy with both. The
food was amazing; the
volunteers were astounding.
The week went really well and
we all had a good time.
The "best of both worlds" teenage out trip was a huge
success. Fashioned after
previous wilderness trips, but
scaled down to just a couple of
days, our out trip to Cariboo
Island was a lot of fun. 48
teenagers and many adult
volunteers canoed and kayaked
the 8 miles in a bit of a storm.
Everyone arrived safe and
sound, but not very dry! Luckily,
Uncle Jimmy, the teen camp
cook, had a lot of food ready and
waiting for the weary travelers.
Upon their arrival to the Island,
the campers were met with a
small village, constructed by
George and Daryl. It was a
fantastic time and we all |
appreciated the hard work of
every one involved.
As happens every year, God was
there, waiting for us to reach out
to Him. Many campers did. Our
speakers were phenomenal, the
music was great, and the Bible
Stories we learned were
inspiring. We look forward to
each of you returning to camp
next year.
Hope we see you soon,

Hey all Helmet here.
I was just thinking about camp
this week and remembering all
the fun I had. It was SOOOO
much fun doing campfire, even
when the water was up to the fire
pits and stage. I can still
remember singing "boom chica
boom"! With the beach gone,
you would think we wouldnʼt
have any fun! You didnʼt miss
any fun no matter how far the
water came up!I
Thanks for the fun times tubing
on the lake, I always get a great
thrill watching you get all wet. :-) I loved the dining hall meals, the
big Camp cake (werenʼt the
cooks amazing!!) One of my
favorite dinning hall memories
was the movie theatre we set up.
The biggest thing I was
remembering about camp
though was not only all the great
memories of fun and craziness
but how much you all touched
my heart. Thanks to the staff
who came out and supported me
and made it all possible. Thanks
so much for being part of camp! |
I am looking forward to seeing
you and your friends for even
more new and exciting things
next summer!

Hey Likely!
I am so excited about how this
summer went, all the staff,
and all the campers coming
out!
I love how every week the
campers were full of energy!
Everyone was singing crazy
camp songs like, 'Boom Chica
Boom'! And, we all had the
opportunity to learn more
about God and Jesus, and
how they can change our
lives! So cool!
Remember to wear your camp
shirts around and keep
pursuing to learn more about
God!
I loved seeing you all this
summer and I hope you are
able to enjoy Likely again in
2012!
God Bless!

Party! Party! |
