2012 Summer Registration Live

Several weeks ago we sent out an email to all our parents that the Camp Cherokee 2012 summer camp registration system is up and running. Now we are also posting that news here.  Consider gifting your young loved one a session of camp at Camp Cherokee this year. Just go to our webiste and follow the "register" button:  www.cherokeeretreatcenter.com

See you this summer!

Greeneyes General Store Grand Opening!

At the recent Cherokee Presbytery meeting we were excited to debut the new Greeneyes General Store. Named after our resident ghost story the store will be a place for campers, visitors, and rental groups to pick up items from flash lights and toothbrushes or rent linens to a selection of snacks and Cherokee Retreat Center memorabilia like t-shirts and waterbottles. Summer Camp families are encouraged to go to their online account and "charge" up their child's account with a little bit of money to enjoy the store during their week of camp rather than to send cash with their child to camp.

God Moment

OK, so a little history on what "God Moment" is - at the beginning of each staff meeting we go around the circle sharing our high of the day - our most happy/silly/exciting thing that happened during the day - and where we saw God that day.

Since I don't typically work with the kids, I don't get to witness their silly antics or see God through their eyes. I do, however, load all the pictures for our Ecamp site so that you, the parents, can see what your kids are up to here at camp!

But today when I was going through these pictures I found two that I would have to say make up my God Moments. They are both very similar pictures, but one is a CIT and one is a counselor. In these pictures, the counselor and CIT are sitting with one of the campers and you can see their full attention is on these kids - what ever that child is saying or doing, they have 100% of the Counselor/CIT's focus and it is wonderful to see that devotion not only from the counselors but also from our counselors in training!

Along with those amazing pictures, there are also some really funny ones. For the first time in 6 weeks of summer camp, I have pictures of kids jumping into the pool that are more than just big splashes of water! A couple kids even look like they are walking on water! Anyway, check them out for yourselves at our ECamp Site - I know you will love them as much as I did!

Till next time,
God Bless!

Week 5

Last night's all camp activity was fantastic! Our activity was Water Games and since the pool is currently out of commission, we played Watermelon Football in the lake! It was so much fun - I will have pictures up this afternoon so that you can take a look at those. I am really excited about tonight, too, because at the Camp Fire, one of our staff, John is going to do a magic show! I have seen a preview and it looks really exciting.

I will have all the pictures of yesterday afternoon and this morning up by 3 PM, but in the mean time, go to our Ecamp Site and check out pictures from yesterday.

Till next time,
God Bless
