Hi everyone! Rev. Jennie here, reporting in from Camp Cody. My apologies for the delay in getting up our first post. Please know that everyone arrived to camp yesterday, safe and sound! We hope the campers enjoyed the luxurious accommodations on the coach buses this year. The buses seemed to make it up to Camp Cody in record time! We spent yesterday afternoon getting everyone settled in their cabins, connecting with morning groups for the first time, and fueling up with a delicious dinner (chicken, rice, veggies, and ice cream sandwiches). We had our first chapel service, led by members of the staff. The staff then put on a variety show last night to share some camp traditions, teach some camp songs, and get everyone laughing. The evening ended as we gathered around the campfire for our first vespers service of the week.
We awoke today to a beautiful morning! After breakfast (pancakes and sausage), we gathered for morning watch (everyone takes about ten minutes of silent time to read a reflection, think, pray, etc.). Morning groups had their first full-length meetings today, and campers also stayed with their morning groups for the afternoon program. Lunch was a hit - grilled cheese sandwiches and French fries! Tonight is the first dance (Neon Nights!), so it's going to be a great evening!
Thanks for checking out the camp blog. We'll keep the posts going throughout the week so that you can get a window into life at Camp Cody.
