Video of campfire show preparations

Here's video of the staff hard at work planning their spectacular opening show.

The first campers showed up today. They were greeted with a cold rainy day in the Northwest. Our troop from Hawaii put in a request for MUCH warmer weather soon! The rain up to this point has been quite unusual. The forest is much 'lusher' than it normally is at the start of summer camp.

Here is our council program director wondering if he needs to hold these tent lines all summer...

Rain at camp today

A refreshing evening thunderstorm
has given the Camp Easton forest
a much needed drink of water.

Summer Camp season starts today for Camp Easton!

Over the last few hours, the fine 2009 staff has been working themselves out of their comfortable "home-sweet-home" beds, beds they won't get back to for 8 weeks and after what was surely a restless evening full of anticipation- they are packing the last of their worldly needs and making the pilgrimage to camp.

This next week will be hard work for them. They will prepare the camp and themselves for a spectacular show. They'll train, they'll sweat, they'll muster ways to make a difference in the life of young scouts.

Our program director declares-"This is exciting!!!"
