Much of life is about learning to overcome your fears—whether facing an intimidating equine or grabbing a microphone! And overcoming fears is a big part of camp. Here are some pics of campers riding horseback, trying out podcasting, and enjoying archery class. Then we have some pics from Life Roles, as well, where the ladies learn to identify the color palette that best suits them and the guys learn the art of bricklaying.

Enjoy these pics of 1B, 3G, and 3B in Dance Class and Volleyball, along with a round of Playdough Pictionary. (BTW: The Editorial Department wants you to know we are aware that the product used for Playdough Pictionary is spelled “Play-Doh.” We are not savages, you know.) And we’ve been assured that no arms were broken in these attempts to master swing dancing!

The short video below includes very brief clips from Mr. Weston’s camper orientation. We want to set the right tone at the beginning! And at orientation, we work hard to do just that. Below that you’ll see some pics from Fellowship Time, one of the campers’ favorite times of day—a great time to relax, talk about how the day so far, and make some new friends.
Here are some pics from Day 1, taken from softball, archery, and volleyball classes.
And, quicker than expected, here is a handful of pics from Day 1! Below each set of pictures, you’ll see a label telling you what event or activity is going on and, if applicable, what dorms are pictured. Enjoy!
Here are some pics from Arrival Day of this year’s LYP Teen Camp 2022. Most of what you see below is before the campers arrive—staff preps their areas of responsibility and works with their teams. Mr. Weston and his team orient the staff and discuss the spiritual principles, the camp’s rules, and the vision behind the program. Later in the day, each team of instructors gets to practice their class with a group of staff members acting as “campers.” It’s a great opportunity to try out their lesson plans in a real instructional environment, get feedback from fellow staff members, and work out any wrinkles before classes begin the next day. Everything is geared toward making sure the camp is up and running so that, when campers arrive, they are coming to a camp that is ready for them! And arrive they do, as you can see in the final pictures. More pics should be on their way soon, so be sure to check back!
