19 Days and Counting

Author: abradford

It is officially JUNE!  Which to many of you means school is out, summer is beginning!  For your friends at Camp Hammer it means, CAMP IS STARTING!  We are in the final weeks of preparing Camp, and getting ready to hang out with all sorts of incredible young people this summer.  In the recent weeks we have built a Castle, a new rec shed, re-vamped the BMX course, FILLED the pond, opened the pool, and so much more.  Summer is upon us, and we are realizing why we love Camp Hammer so much.  It is truly incredible how things change when summer is near.  The weather obviously changes, but with that so do all sorts of other things.  For instance, when the weather changes, the sun hits the plant life differently, and creates an array of incredible new scents.  This is my favorite indicator that summer is near.  Walking through Camp and smelling the unbelievably fresh air of the Redwoods.  If you have spent time at Camp in the summer you know exactly what I am talking about.  Soon, the Snack Shack will be stocked, the Craft Shack will be open, the feild will be played on, the pond will be “funoed” in, the swings will be swung on, the dining hall will be eaten in, DK will be filled with music, and the forest surrounding Camp Hammer will be filled with laughter of children learning about their creator.  It is summer.  Can’t wait to see you!
