Laughter filled the Camp Friendship basketball courts Tuesday evening, thanks to a summertime carnival hosted by a local church group. Members of the United Methodist Church of Kimball came to camp to host a Summertime Carnival that campers and staff enjoyed immensley. among the members hosting the carnival, was Camp Friendship's very own Larry Blum (Thanks Larry!).

Throughout the jamboree, there was excitement with bubbles, bean bag toss, mini golf, musical squares and other games. Campers walked away with great prizes, like slinkys, bubbles and toy snakes!

We always enjoy when visitors come to camp to entertain us. It gives our participants and staff who are here for more than one week a great deal of variety. This particular group comes to camp every summer to host a program, and hopefully they will keep spending their time with us for years to come. Over the next few weeks at Camp Friendship, you can look forward to hearing more about special events and programs. A few we are particularly excited about are Creature Encounters, and the St. Cloud River Bats coming to visit.

Counselor Tyler, participant Lyle, and counselor Adam pause for a quick photo

while enjoying the carnival.

Stay tuned,
