The camp was held June 5-8 at the Middle Florida Baptist Assembly campgrounds at Pickett Lake.

Each camper chooses three tracks out of the 11 tracks offered. The tracks were painting, stomp band, archery, cooking, crafts, twirling, outdoors, sports girls only, photography, woodworking.

Every camper has swimming. During that track, they can either swim in the pond or play in the waterslides. 

“It has grown and it has been a blessing to the community and all of us,” Assistant director Dwight Poole said.  “We are so excited to be out here.”

Assistant director Sunny Wimberley said every evening they have a party for the campers.
