Wednesday's Events

Yesterday's Minute to Win It Winner for "Forked" was Bethany L.

Today's Minute To Win It Winner for "Penny Hose" was Kaleb M.

We did a bonus Minute to Win It called "Elephant Nose" and Audrey won!!!

Today has been so busy we haven't had time to load our pictures yet! This morning we did a silly sport called "7 Pin Up" and Tabitha M and her companion Deena won!! After that, the campers played softball and went swimming.

Our friends the Reddings Mill Fire Dept. came out and let us play in the water. The infamous football game ensued and ended with sliding in the mud for those daring enough to try!

Campers are busy scrambling last minute to practice for their talent show. So far I have heard there is to be a line up of singing, piano playing, a couple of skits, plus more!

Tonight's dinner is provided by First Community Bank....they have been smoking bbq pork and chicken all day! Yum!

Minute to Win It Winners

Yesterday's Minute to Win It was "Down Down Down" which got the companions down on the ground for their campers in the spirit of competition. Our winners were Mary and Bethany! These girls have been the fashionista's of camp this year. We are pretty sure Bethany has a career in fashion somewhere down the line....

Teamwork is the name of the day

Each morning after breakfast we are starting our day off with a silly sport and then a game. Today the activity directors have been so impressed and amazed with the perseverance shown by the campers and the teamwork that ensued after some of our campers really struggled with the "ice caps" game! However, why should they expect anything less? These kids know the definition of perseverance, hardwork, determination, and what it truly means to support one another. Here are a few pictures of our morning together.

Monday's Events

Yesterday was our first full day of camp, and man were we wore out! The Young Professional Network did a great job of wearing us out in the evening with their scavenger hunt.

Sunday's Events

Yesterday the campers checked in, got to know each other, had a great dinner provided to us from the Christopher Foundation, listened to a great band, went swimming, played games, and much more! Here is a slide show with a few pics.

Sunday Photos...more to come

Found these characters listening to the band last night. I think they ate too many chocolate chip cookies and they rotted
their teeth.












This is one of our new campers, Bethany L!
Isn't she a doll?!

No Apparent Reason

Last night our favorite band showed up to sing us some songs during dinner. We had three birthday girls, so they did a special tribute to them.

SUNDAY-Check in day

Please welcome
Audrey, Bethany, and Bethany!! We can't wait for you to experience Camp Quality Ozarks!!

Camp 2011 It's a New Dawn! It's a New Day!

In the wake of the recent EF5 tornado that destroyed Joplin, we changed our theme this year for camp from Camp Quality: Land of Oz to CQ It's a new dawn, it's a new day! We felt that having the Wizard of Oz theme for camp this year would hit too close to home, no pun intended.

We are focusing on rebuilding our town and rebuilding our spirit, and we know camp is the best way to do that!

Camp starts next Sunday, July 17th and we can't wait to see everyone!

This year we have some great things going and some new activities that we think everyone will love!

We will be posting more often, and of course blogging through camp. Please come back and visit us and as always check us out on our facebook and website....
