'Twas the Evening Before Site Coordinator Training ... For The 2018 Camp Season!!!!

Hello All,

We hope your school year is going well.  And, guess what? We only have 29 days before the 2018 camp season! Isn't that so, so exciting!

In just over four weeks we will be heading back to our campsite at Camp Heidelberg.  This year we will be welcoming campers 7 - 12 years of age! Wow; that will be so so amazing!

And...and...there will be field games, quite games, active games, games in the forest, sports, crafts, archery, and even a few additional surprises as well.

We just can't wait for camp to start!

Have a great rest-of-the school year, and see you very, very soon.

The Camp Heidelberg Staff Team :)

SAYING 'GOOD BYE' TO THE 2017 CAMP SEASON... SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!! :)

Dear All,

As the new school year is 'upon us', we are posting a few more pictures and a video from our adventures at Camp Heidelberg during the last week of camp.

We had a great summer at the camp!  We hope you all enjoyed our camp programming, the campfires, and of course, our pictures and blog entries.

As the school year will be progressing, and we will be looking forward to our next summer at Camp Heidelberg, we will be posting monthly updates from our camp!

WEEKEND UPDATE FROM CAMP HEIDELBERG: WE PUT IN ANOTHER GARDEN BED! :)

Dear All,

Our garden has expanded! We put in another garden bed at the camp! :)

Even though it's the last week of camp, we still have 5 days to tend to our old garden, and decide what we would like to plant in the new garden bed.

Do you have any suggestions? No idea is a bad idea... :)

See you at Camp Heidelberg.




A GREAT END TO THE SECOND LAST WEEK OF CAMP!

Dear All,

We sure were goofy all the way to Friday afternoon.  On Friday, we decided to have a campfire - complete with songs and all - and had marshmallows - because our campfire was cancelled. Then we did archery, played soccer and finished up crafts from the week, before having an awesome BBQ lunch!

We would like to say a great big' THANK YOU' to our friend Thomas' ('Carl') parents for supplying us with giant, delicious bags of chips! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :) 

During lunch we welcomed John, a former YMCA employee who shared with stories from his travels in Africa. 

In the afternoon, the LIAs organized an amazing game of 'Blob Tag'! We had so, so much fun!! Finally, we also completed our Y value puzzles as well.

Very lastly :) to, even their own surprise, 'The Heidies' wont he weekly competition.  Everyone was so, so excited! :)

We can't wait to start our last week at the camp, when we will be breaking some records.  We will also be truing Zumba and Yoga - hopefully - on Tuesday.

See you all at the Camp! :)

WE LOVE BEING 'GOOFY', AND PLAYING GIANT GAMES! :)

Dear All,

Our week at Camp Heidelberg continued with tons of fun!  Today, Thursday, we did archery, did our craft in the forest, played lacrosse and went down to the pond to explore the critters around the pond.  In the afternoon, the LIAs organized an amazing 'camp-wide' game for us.

Yesterday, Wednesday, we played soccer baseball, did an amazing craft involving tiles and Sharpies, did archery and tried land-skis again.  In the afternoon, we played a giant game of 'Field Basketball'.  Even though it was warm outside in the afternoon, we still had lots of fun!

Unfortunately our campfire was cancelled due to the weather, but we are looking forward to an amazing Friday, which will include a BBQ hot-dog lunch, and games lead by the LIAs.

We thank you for your support of our camp.

WEEK 7 - 'GIANT GOOFY GAMES': HERE WE GO!

Dear All,

This week at Camp Heidelberg we will playing many awesome, large, goofy, silly games.  Yesterday, Tuesday, we played a giant game of 'Canada Dodgeball' - it's the polite, nice version of dodgeball, where we encouraged campers to throw the balls 'under-hand', aim at knees-and-below and say 'sorry' if a camper hits another camper! :)  On Monday, we also tried out our land skis.  We might just have to have a race or two later on this week... :)

We also played a few rounds of soccer, made giant bird-feeders and did archery.  Our week is off to an amazing start!

Hope to see you at Camp Heidelberg. :)






WE CAUGHT MANY A POKEMON!! :)

Dear All,

We finished week 6 at Camp Heidelberg with a great, big Pokemon hunt.  Needless to say we caught many, many of them.  A great, big thank you goes out to Jessie for drawing the Pokemon on paper.(Despite of what she thinks, the drawings are fantastic! :))

We also finished our week long craft as well.  Our campers were incredibly creative, and so the craft turned out to be amazing.

Please see our week in pictures.

Hope to see you at Camp Heidelberg.
