10 Facts about camp:

- This year is Sonlight's thirty year anniversary

- I live in a staff cabin with two other girls (although most others live with only one other person if at all) deemed "the closest"

- Sonlight is known for its awesome food that is definately making me fat

- We have anywhere from 35 (crazy small) to 65 kids per week. Its perfect because I can know everyone's name.

- We are launching a new program this year, X2, which is a high school leadership week that runs at the same time as our Junior Camp.

- We have two camp dogs, Benji, and my new favorite: Tope... a little mexican puppy mutt. 

- We sing songs at campfire about bananas, baby sharks, and hippopotamuses.

- Games we play with the kids include capture the chicken, indiana jones, dodgeball, and fishin' impossible.

- While Sonlight has a full-time paid summer staff, we also rely on numerous volunteers who come for a week or more at a time. They do anything from counseling, speaking, dish washing, or healthcare.

- On Fridays we have our infamous messy games... which includes "Yuck", dyed mashed potatoes, leftovers, a foam machine slip n' slide, and millions of water-balloons.
