On Friday night our senior high campers descended on Qwanoes for an out of the ordinary and fun packed weekend! Many of our campers this weekend have been to camp before and it has been so good to welcome them back! Some come with friends that have never been here before. I talked to one camper that said now she knows about Qwanoes and she is for sure coming this summer with her friend!
This afternoon I ran into our camp speaker for the weekend, Storm Moore. It’s great to have Storm back once again! I have to be honest though…I didn’t really run into Storm, I went out looking for him during activity time and I knew it wasn’t going to be hard to find him. You see…it was a little chillier today, and I knew Storm was in one of two places, he was either going to be warming up by the Club Coco fireplace or lined up for a nice warm drink from the Coco Hut. That’s right if you guessed it! He was at the CocoHut! Storm said he was excited about two things this weekend… 1. talking about how God makes a BIG difference in our lives and 2. a piping hot drink from Club Coco!
Club Coco is one nice, warm place to be to be on a chilly day – that’s for sure! If you take just one look around you’ll see so many different options to kick back with some friends and have some fun. On one end there was a roaring fire going that was warming up the whole room. There’s only one thing that makes a nice fire even better on afternoons at Qwanoes during a retreat… playing Mario Cart! I saw a few campers battling it out on the big screen! If you turn around to other parts of Club Coco there are options galore! There were campers playing carpetball, foosball, battle top arena, bubble hockey, and some were just kicking back with friends. Got to love Club Coco… especially after being outside on a Fall fun-filled afternoon swinging from trees or climbing to the top of the Elevator in the challenge course!
The night is still young at Qwanoes! There is still so much left to do! It’s Q-Town right now, and then an awesome night game coming up right after that called “Firestorm!” I heard it involves water balloons and fire! Now that’s going to be exciting. Then off to invade the town wave pool, water slides and hot-tub! Oh and don’t forget about Mug-Up!
It’s been a great retreat season for our students in our Kaléo leadership program! They have been involved in every retreat and done an amazing job! You can see lot of pictures of our students serving on our Kaléo program blog.
It’s hard to believe how fast time flies as our retreat season is quickly coming to an end. The Men’s Retreat is coming up in just two weeks and it’s not too late to sign up! Our youger campers have had their turn, and now it’s time for the men! If you would like more information or want to register, visit us online today!
