Overnighter 2007!!

Our annual camper overnighter was a huge success!! On June 8, we had more than 35 campers experience spending the night under the stars at Honor Bright. We started the evening by putting up tents, talking with staff, and playing on the playground. When all the parents left, the fun really started. We kicked off the night with a game of "sticks" and the went down to the fire to cook hot dogs and roast marshmallows for smores...

After spending time down at the fire, it was time for some more snacks and a couple games. It was also a great time for campers to get situated in their tents. Campers were also given the chance to look at the stars through a telescope (Thanks Jamie). Our night ended with a late night hike that had us navigating the woods with our flashlights listening and looking for the wildlife the lives at Honor Bright...

After returning to camp it was time to get ready for bed before lights out!! Needless to say, it was an early morning for everyone involved, but it was a great experience for staff and campers alike!!
We would like to thank everyone that helped by donating food and/or money. We would also like to thank those parents who were willing to spend some extra time helping to put up some tents!!! This night was successful because of your contribution of time, money, and gifts!! Thanks so much and we are already looking forward to next year's overnighter!!
