This year, Craft Lady Julie Essary and helpers Vinny Price and Melodie Dorn orchestrated some exciting crafts for all the campers.

Each team was given the following supplies to complete this task: cardboard, two rolls of…
MSC took a moment out of it’s busy schedule today to give a shout out to former camper and longtime sports staff member Jordan Warfel who could not join us at camp this year as he is a Marine who is currently stationed in Afghanistan. We’ve missed you at camp, Jordan, but we thank you for your service to…

Needless to say, some of our current campers…

First of all was “A Minute to Win the Amazing Race,” which was a combination of television competition shows “Minute to Win It” and “The Amazing Race.” The game required teams to decipher rhymes to determine where to run across the campground to…
