arrived at
services in Fort Worth on
Sabbath afternoon, July 22. Mr. Mario Seiglie from Santiago,
Chile, and Mr. Ken Treybig, camp director shown at right, gave split sermons. Shown at left is Mr. Seiglie and his wife Caty,
who supervised crafts for the girls. She brought project ideas from the ladies
in Chile. After services on the Sabbath, the Fort Worth members provided a spaghetti dinner
for everyone. After that the staff members went to camp to settle in and begin their
training on Saturday night and Sunday before the campers began arriving at 4 PM.
Shown
here are Camp Director Ken Treybig and Program Director Frank McCrady working on
open activities for the evening. Campers choose which activity they would like
to attend, within the limits of how many each activity can handle. Scheduling
this year proved to be a challenge since the YMCA staff wanted to have two hour
sessions for horseback riding and could only handle half a dorm at a time. They
also wanted to have each dorm spend one whole day at the ropes course, going
first through the team building low ropes elements, then moving on to the
challenge section--the high ropes areas of climbing wall, pamper pole, etc.
Other activity periods were an hour and twenty minutes.
At
left are Head Counselor Dave Treybig and Kathy Treybig (wife of Ken Treybig).
Dave Treybig's wife, Teddi, was also present and served as head counselor for the
girls' counselors as well as helping schedule transportation needs to get
campers to and from the softball fields and horseback riding, which were located
on the camp property, but were reached faster by van.
Kathy Treybig was office manager and published the camp newsletter.
In
this photo Ken Giese (basketball supervisor) and Britt Taylor (softball
supervisor) are shown sharing a Christian Living class. These classes were
done each morning after breakfast and before the first activity period to set
the right tone for the day. Classes this year focused on moral values. (See
summaries on Christian Living page.) Each dorm went to basketball twice and to
softball twice. Basketball was also offered each evening as one of the open
activities.
Below are several other pictures of staff, including a number of staff members in a staff/camper football challenge one evening.

"Today the girls were acting our
scenes from 'The Little Mermaid' during swimming".

"The best camp experience was seeing
my girls apply biblical principles of encouragement...really cooperating and
meshing as a team."
Melanie Newman, 3G
This feeling takes us away
Our new "home" we want to stay
Even when the week is over
We have these memories to carry us over.
There is so much about
ourselves
That we have discovered.
Just look at the strengths
That we have uncovered.
Each day as we grow stronger
The person we were is no longer.
For all this we owe Him praise
For we have encountered the Zone.
Anne Dungan, 4G

really enjoyed a killer game of softball with the girls."
Emily Sandilands, 4G

flying bats and oul tips, especially working with 4G (the smallest girls)."
