A Salute to Week #4 in 2019

This week we celebrated DuBois Center 2019 campers and leaders from Week #4 on Facebook, Instagram and during our virtual campfire. Many were registered and excited about returning this summer… before the health crisis struck.

We MISS YOU and have a bunk with your name on it for next summer! A big thumbs up to our Settler, Nature’s Lab, Splash, Outback and Saddle ‘Em Up campers!

Virtual Campfire – Tonight, July 16th

Join us TONIGHT at 7pm Central Time for another DuBois Center virtual campfire! Everyone is welcome!

This week we are saluting our 2019 campers and leaders from week #5 with lots of great photos – Discovery, Quest, Imagine That, Movin’ and Groovin’, Trekkin’ It, Horsin’ Around and Saddle ‘Em Up. It was so much fun to search through hundreds of photos and so many great memories to select the ones for tonight’s campfire.

This edition is packed with fun. See and hear from some of your favorite camp leaders, sing silly and serious camp songs, laugh at some BAD jokes and listen to words of wisdom and challenge from Pastor Sunny AKA Rev Christy Eckert.

If all goes as planned, you’ll be able to join us via thechat function during the initial viewing. After tonight, the video will still available to view, but the chat feature won’t be activated.

These campfires are weekly events during what would have been our 2020 summer camp season and links to the videos are sent out weekly. There is just one more after tonight – July 23.

You are invited to submit short skits, silly jokes and goofy riddles for next week’s campfire, but don’t delay. Submissions are needed by THIS SUNDAY EVENING. As is always the case at DuBois Center – keep it clean, positive and fun. We put the foot down on put-downs! Remember to speak LOUDLY and CLEARLY and to make sure there is nothing blocking or muffling your microphone!

Send videos to dbcprogramoffice@gmail.com for review and inclusion.

Hope you can join us tonight!

Virtual Campfires

Miss the crackle of the campfire? Singing silly songs with your counselors? Making s’mores with friends? Listening to inspiring words from chaplains? Praying together under the stars? SO DO WE!!

It won’t be the same, but staff and volunteers are working on creative ways to share some of these favorites with campers and their families via virtual campfires. The first release is scheduled for 7 pm on Thursday, June 11. That would have been the first closing campfire of Summer 2020. We hope you’ll join us.
