Although the afternoon sporting events were cancelled, the morning games went as scheduled. Teams enjoyed basketball, volleyball, soccer and kickball. Campers were able to play two of the four sports this morning. More major sports coming tomorrow as well.
Today, many of the kids enjoyed making crafts. MSC staff has been blessed to have Ms. Dayna Cade join us to oversee our craft time. As your children enter the craft hall they are greeted with warm decorations to inspire the “Picasso” in all of them. This year the craft hall is set up in stations to allow them…

It’s has been a little overcast at Shakamak State Park today, but nothing can dampen our spirits here at MSC. Evan Casey helped us start our morning off right as he led out thoughts during flagpole devotion. With our overall theme of “God Fits” this week, today’s particular theme is friendship. “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (I Corinthians 15:33). Evan…
MSC Junior Camp 2014 began today and the staff could not be more excited. Months of preparation goes into every camp and we want to thank all of the many volunteers that put so much effort into making this week so special for these 148 kids. This video is for these great camp staff members…. let the fun begin!
Our last Sunday night event was another new one called The Barnyard Animal Game. Teams stood outside around the outside of the playing area and team captains were wearing blindfolds. When Scott, our beloved Sports Director said “go”, teams ran in, grabbed a card, trying to find their team’s assigned animal. When a team found theirs, that person yelled…
A brand new Sunday night event at Junior camp is the Toilet Paper Challenge. Team captains unrolled a full roll of toilet paper and each team member had to hold a section of it while walking through an obstacle course. If the roll broke, the team stopped and all grabbed the longest piece and kept going. The team that…
Another MSC Junior Camp Sunday night classic is the Hula Hoop Relay. Teams get in a circle and clasp hands while passing a hula hoop over their heads and jumping through. First team to get the hula hoop one complete time around the circle and sits down, wins.
Sunday evening’s events were off to a roaring start with an ‘oldie but a goodie’ called Through the Leg Shuffle. Each team lined up in a straight line with their feet spread apart. The last one in line crawls through the “tunnel” of legs and stands up at the front of the line. The team keeps going until all…
Sunday night after the opening ceremonies, the campers got to meet with their team captains and their new teammates. They learned each other’s names, team cheers and team strategies for the week – all in preparation for the events that start that evening.
