Following the MSC Talent Show tonight, we all once again gathered on the lower sports field to sing praises to God. It was great to lift up our voices in song, despite the fact that much of the crowd had donned sweatshirts as temperatures had dropped to 63 degrees. As we said last night, yesterday was a beautiful day,…
Campers got to show off their creative side during the long-awaited MSC Talent Show tonight in the Rec Hall. We had a variety of singing acts, skits, instrumental acts, lip synching, and comedy. To kick the evening off, videographer Kevin Colvin presented a comedic disc golf tutorial gleaned from outtakes, interviews, and a little acting from Sr. Week Directors…
To celebrate our MSC 2014 Last Year Campers, lip synch coordinators Rita Newton and Allison Ritzline did a fantastic job putting together a very special dinner in their honor.

The event was scored based on the number of strokes and the total time to complete the course….
