Marvelous Monday
Not even the detour could stop campers
from lining up at the Camp Barnes gate.
While the bus was yet nowhere in sight,
State 4-H Camp had begun! As campers
arrived and settled into their cabins, the
heart and spirit of camp came alive. After a
lunch of chicken patties and French fries,
campers were informed on cabin rules and
then headed to orientation to be briefed on
more camp rules. After all that business
was taken care of, campers had fun
unscrambling words, such as Brigid, running
man, Nova Scotia, snapchat, basalisk, and
pollen. After great skits, campers headed
off to their first people group meeting
followed by free recreation, where campers
enjoyed the pool, waterfront, and a volley-
ball game. Hungry campers then came to a
delicious dinner of meatball sandwiches and
a healthy salad. Afterwards, the evening
began to wind down with a second people
group meeting, reflections and flag lower-
ing, and canteen. Campers then headed
down to council circle where Voices and
Echoes were announced. The bar was set
high for the week to come! After council
circle campers retreated to cabins, teeth
brushing and bed.

Toasty Tuesday
As the siren sounded early in the morning,
campers ran for the showers. After warm
showers campers returned to clean their
cabins and prepare for the day ahead.
Their first camp breakfast consisted of
piggle stick and yogurt. After breakfast
campers headed out for AM Excitement—
yoga—to get energized. Rain was not going
to dampen their spirits. After that, campers
went to their classes which consisted of
archery, ice cream making, outdoor
cooking, feet on fire, and animal
science...just to name a few. Next,
campers went to assembly to sing songs,
hear cabin check, and receive mail. After
lunch, campers welcomed a quick rest
period after being outside all morning,
followed by more fun and afternoon
assembly! Traditionally, Tuesday is
first-year camper night. Voices and Echoes
helped prepare these first-year campers for
the night ahead at council circle. After a
delay in volleyball games, campers
decided to have a dance and karaoke party
before dinner, people group meetings,
evening preparations and reflections.
Canteen went by fast followed by a game of
“Ride that Pony.” Campers then headed off
to council circle for another great night!

Wonderful Wednesday
With an easy-starting morning, campers
dodged puddles on their way to the show-
ers, followed by cabin duties and breakfast.
People groups did a great job performing
their different duties, which included the
dining hall, bathhouse, council circle, and
grounds. AM Excitement focused on dancing,
getting everyone ready for tonight's dance
and dusting off the counselor’s dance
moves. First and second classes flew by
fast, and then everyone was off to AM
Assembly for mail call and to sing songs.
After lunch, campers assembled for people
group and camp pictures—no beauty rest
today. Voices and Echoes went to people
group meetings ready to plan the night’s
party ahead. Free recreation started with
some kayaking, pool time, kan jam and
volleyball. Evening preparations and dinner
went by fast with ideas flying for plans for
the party. The theme this year was “Super
Heroes.” Turtles did Turtle Man and Captain
Toilet. T-birds did Thunder boy. Moon &
Stars did Blank Boy. Bears did Bear Man.
All groups had the camp laughing, and
while the fun was not over yet, we headed
off to the cabins to change and clear cloth-
ing off the line before heading to dance the
night away!

Terrific Thursday
After a slow start and no one running to the
showers, campers enjoyed a breakfast of
delicious cheese omelets. During AM
Excitement counselors tried to get campers
awake and ready for the day ahead by doing
stretches and yoga. Off to classes, campers
where now energized. AM assembly was
filled with songs, personal skits and cabin
check. After lunch campers welcomed a
much-needed, extended rest period as they
were starting to get tired. PM assembly
consisted of a relay race to see which
people group could work together the best.
Afterwards, campers met with their people
groups to go over songs, yells, skits, a
challenge and talent. Volleyball went well
with the Turtles and Moon & Stars ending
with a 2-1 score. Quick showers and off to
dinner the campers went. Another people
meeting, then campers sprayed down with
bug spray in preparation for council circle.
Voices and Echoes switched places with the
Big Feet and had to perform a skit. The
evening progressed with songs, skits, and
yells and people group talents. It was a
quiet walk back to cabins where camper fell
asleep fast.

Fantastic Friday
As campers woke up to music and not a
siren, the last full day of camp had begun.
With lots of fun still ahead, campers did
their morning routine then headed to
breakfast. People group duties and AM
excitement moved slowly, but campers
hurried through their first and second
classes to finish up their projects. AM
assembly was next where campers got their
final packages from loved ones and friends,
and counselors won best bed for the cabin
checks. After lunch, campers made their
way to their cabins for a much-needed,
extended rest period. People group
meetings went by quickly in anticipation of
the Voice and Echo vs Big Feet volleyball
game that was going to be a good one. We
had a rain delay but in the end the Big Feet
came out on top. A turkey dinner with
mashed potatoes, gravy and rolls was every-
one’s favorite meal. Campers then strolled
to the river front and to take pictures.
After the second people group meeting,
everyone was ready to get High Council roll-
ing. As people groups lined up to head
down, emotions started to run high and
tears flowed. After council circle, a
slideshow of the week began and after-
wards, campers soon headed off to bed.

Cabin Check:
Raising & Low-ering the Flag The flag should be raised
briskly and lowered
slowly and ceremonious-
ly. When the flag is
lowered, no part of it
should touch the ground
or any other object. To
store the flag it should be
folded neatly and
ceremoniously. Ordinarily
it should be displayed
only between sunrise
and sunset. It should be
illuminated if displayed at
night. The flag of the
United States of America
is saluted as it is hoisted
and lowered. The salute
is held until the flag is
unsnapped from the
halyard or through the
last note of music,
whichever is the longest.
Flag Facts
The 50 stars on the flag
represent the 50 states
of the United States of
America, and the 13
stripes represent the 13
British colonies that
declared independence
from the Kingdom of
Great Britain, and
became the first states in
the US. When Alaska
and Hawaii became
states 49 and 50,
President Eisenhower
received thousands of
ideas for an updated
flag. Almost all of them
were of a 50-star flag,
including one from
Robert G. Heft, a 17-year
old student at Lancaster
(Ohio) High, who created
the design for a class
project. He was one of
three to submit the
version that was
accepted and remains in
use today. Robert got a
B- on his project.
