On again, off again

Once again, we are having some difficulty with our internet connection. That’s to be expected out here this far. Photos from the remaining days at Camp coming soon!

Former Campers, Join us at DYMO on Thursday evening!

Former campers are invited to share in this year’s experience in a special way. As Thursday’s theme revolves around community, we invite you to celebrate Mass with us on Thursday, June 11th.
All visitors, including former campers, must sign in and follow the procedures set up for camp visitors. These will be explained upon check-in. [...]

Making Music

Students! Do you play an instrument? Can you bring it? We think you should. You see, there are opportunities for you to play (and sing, too) during Camp. There’s a student variety show, and you can show off what you can do. The participants of one of the workshops becomes the group that leads music [...]

Time Keeps on Spinning

Wow! It’s June already. (Or, if you’ve been waiting for the end of the school year to arrive, perhaps you might think Wow. It’s June, finally.)
Either way, it’s just a few short days until Camp 2009 starts. The CPC has been finalizing their plans and collecting what they need. The staff is already beginning to [...]

Church Outdoors

Yes. Outdoors. Camp Pinewood has an outdoor chapel looking out over the lake. The roof is sky. The stained glass is the tree branches filtering the sunlight. The sounds of little children are replaced with the sound of birds and squirrels. The air conditioning is a breeze off of the lake. A church experience for [...]

We are pleased to say that we will have some very special guests at DYMO Camp this year! Who? Well, we spoke with the agent for one of the twelve apostles, and everything looks good for his appearance. We have several guys lined up who have been known to wear white plastic tabs at their [...]

CPC Highlight: Zach

Zach is finishing up his Junior year at Zeeland East High School. (Go CHIX!) He volunteered for the CPC because he enjoyed DYMO so much that he thought it would be a good idea to give something back to such a great camp. His dad had been at DYMO as a kid, and even was [...]

The 2009 Camp Planning Committee [CPC]

The countless hours of work that go into preparing the Camp experience each year began last October. The CPC (Camp Planning Committee) is a group of Campers who meet to dream up a theme and give the staff an idea of what Camp might look like for the year. Come time of Camp, these people [...]

Photo Evidence

Here are some pics of the meeting in February…
These people are brilliant, but a little bit goofy. We like that.
Students of the ‘Camp Planning Committee’ gave the staff a wonderfully complete and well-thought out description of what they had in mind, and how they thought it might work. Good stuff.
The plans for Camp continue! Since [...]
