Hello, Mom & Dad, Just thought I’d write to let you know that I’m already having a BLAST at camp. I met my team after you left Shakamak — they’re all really cool and I’m really going to like my team captains. We’ve got a big day ahead of us: softball, volleyball, singing, crafts, and lip synch practice. I…
The troops have gathered, the directors have spoken, and MSC Sr. Week 2015 has officially begun!!!!! The entire staff has been introduced to the campers and everyone is ready to make this the BEST MSC EVER!!!!!

The rain has currently subsided here at Shakamak, but naturally it is quite muddy out on the sports fields. Hunter team member Gabe Goen has the right attitude: “I’d rather have a muddy week than a hot week.” Well, Gabe, looks like your wish is coming true!
The day has finally arrived…MSC Sr. Week 2015 registration is OPEN!!!!! Buttons are ready, team captains are unpacked, the kitchen staff is cooking away, and directors Todd & Susan Hall have this machine we call Sr. Week running like a well-oiled machine. We’re looking forward to a GREAT week!

The group consensus of the approximate 110 MSC campers, former-campers, staff members, parents, and siblings was that Kings Island was a BLAST yesterday. The weather was spectacular for the Post-Camp Kings Island Trip, topping out at around 80 degrees, with sunny skies until early evening when the sky became overcast and cooled the temperatures down into the low 70’s. …
We had a wonderful year at camp and we’re so sad to see it come to an end. We had great meals, fun activities, met new friends, and learned how God fits in our hearts. We thank our directors, Ty and Ryan Bacon and all the staff that worked so hard to make it such a great experience for…
The last event of Wednesday night was our annual Pillow Fight Championship. If you have not seen this at MSC Junior Camp, you are surely missing something special. It has grown over the years from moving around some bunks in a cabin to a full-blown ring with announcers, judges, a bell ringer, microphones lowering from the ceiling and a…
Another great thing about Wednesday at camp is the fun carnival activities the campers get to participate in. Here is a video from the area where all of the carnival games took place. Kids enjoyed basketball shots, face painting, plinko, ball in the peach basket, bottle rings, and more!
