A Day in the Life of Camp
The Camp Program
If you've wondered what a day at Gull Lake is like then this is the place to look. A typical day looks something like this:
 |
Wake Up
At about 8:00 we wake up the campers to start off the day. Wake up is an hour later at Senior Teens.
Gladiators
After wake up we have some morning exercises or games including pillow
fights, obtacle courses (the gauntlet), and other fun challenges.
Campers are usually still a little drowsy at this time but they wake up
by the end.
Breakfast

Skills
This is a 2 hour part of each day where campers get to work on a skill area that interests them. The skill areas are boating, mad science, skateboarding, photography, arts, wall climbing, sports, music and worship, drama and outdoor skills. During registration you get to pick which skill you work on for your week of camp.
Lunch

Tuck
After Lunch we open up the Tuck shop where campers can spend deposited money on food, drinks, and camp clothing.
Beach Time
We head to the beach while the afternoon is still young to spend a
couple of hours in the sun. At the beach campers can go tubing,
canoeing, play swamp soccer, beach volleyball, frolic in the water or
just relax on the beach and have a great conversation with a friend.
Cabin Time
Once we get back from the beach there is time for cabins to hang out
together and get a taste of different things the camp can offer. All
things that can be done during skills (climbing, tubing etc...) can be
done with your cabin during this time.

Supper
Occasionally the Arts team on staff will organize theme meals during
supper. This past summer we had many different ones such as 1950s night
(as well as theme nights for the 60s, 70s, and 80s), super hero night,
seniors bingo night and of course the formal dinner at the end of
Senior Teens.
Evening Event
Each night we play a massive wide game with the entire camp
participating. Favotrites include: Lord of the Rings, annhialation, civilitation and many others.
Mug Up
Mug up is just a code word we have for an evening snack. Occasionally
we will set up a coffee house for the campers to hang out in. |

|
Campfire
Everyone gathers at Memorial Hall for some more time to worship
together and the speaker will give another talk or someone will give
their testimony during this time.
Lights Out
After about half an hour to hang out and get ready for bed everyone hits the sack for the night.
