First Annual Family Camp.

Camp Hickory Hill was proud to host our first Family Camp on September 11, 12, and 13th. We hosted five families, and had some familiar faces out to camp along with some new ones. The family camp allowed some of our veteran campers to show their parents around those hills of Hickory, as well as introduce new parents to camp.

Thanks to the help of staff members Eric Ladd, Sydney Lock, Kelsey Payne, Kyle Rood, Derek Marlowe, and Rowena LaFavor, the weekend was a great success. Campers and parents alike had a chance to sit in on lectures presented by Danita Rife, Dr. Gardner, and Jennifer Polniak during the morning, and then had a blast on our challenge course and rappelling wall in the afternoon.

It was great to have Bibbles Thomas out with big brother, and Ms. Ashlan with her constant Kool-aid mustache. Thanks very much to all of our campers and parents, and we hope to see you back during our summer camp in June!

Plans are in the works for CHH to run more family camps in the future, be watching our website and blog for more info!

Session 3 Day 5!!!

ARRRRGH!!! Today is Thursday here at CHH!!! WOO! Anyways, we started off the activities today with some repelling!!!! It was super cool and everyone at least tried it!

Then we had some arts and crafty time making awesome bracelets! Dustin made so many of them! After lunch we had the PIRATE C.I.T CARNIVAL! It was super fun! With sugar-free snow cones, ping pong toss, bocci, softball toss, water assassins, and tattoos! The campers received about 20 dabloons and they could win more and get awesome stuff at the prize store!!!

Tonight's activity is BLACK BEARD'S MUD PIT!!!!!!!!!!! 

Session 3 Day 4!!!

Arrgh!! Here on day 4, we started off with the flying squirrel!!! Every camper helped out with pulling and got to fly! They all loved it so much and were wanting to go for a second time.

Next we did tye-dye! We had so many colors and the shirts should turn out super awesome!! We did shirts and bandanas! 

Then we had the fire department out again and showed all the kids really cool stuff and they were soaked!!

Double soaking I should say with the kids going spelunking! Thats right they get to go into our very own cave that is 6 miles deep but they won't be going that far in.

Triple play! Our evening activity is all camp swim!!! They are ready to get wet again and have more fun! Finally we end our evening with the Sphyre of Prometheus, fire spinners!

Session 3 Day 3!!!

Yo ho yo ho a diabetic's life for ME! Day 3 out here and we started off this morning with archery with Morgan! It was awesome the campers did so well with shooting the bows!

 

Then as the campers were eating their snack we had the BAT LADY! She taught them so much about the endangered bats that are in our very own cave!

Later this afternoon the campers got to rock climb! They were so good at it even blind folded! One almost made it to the top on the expert side!

After that we cooled off with some kayaking!! So much fun and I believe Cabin 9 won the race! Finally we wrap up today with PEG LEG KICKBALL and a super story teller at campfire!
