For our version of a "Throwback Thursday" post, we want to share some snapshots from our busy staff training week that we never got around to posting in all the pre-camp busyness! To all our summer staff: we miss you, we remain grateful for your hard and caring work this summer, and we keep you in our thoughts and prayers as you return to school, to different jobs, and to all sorts of other adventures!

Happy National Dog Day to all who celebrate! And who doesn't give thanks for all our four-legged friends?

We are grateful to our friends at Pet Partners for brining therapy dogs for a visit during the first week of camp -- way back in early June.

After the long camp season, many of our summer staff were able to stay around last Friday night for a celebration and recognition of their work. We are so grateful for the caring presence and fun-loving guidance these young (and young at heart) people provided for 10 weeks so that campers, and they themselves, could go home each day "happy, dirty, and tired."

We are also especially grateful to Camp Taco for providing the yummy taco/fajitas bar for dinner! Thank you for recognizing the important work of these kind of "counselors!" :-)

We want to wish all our Lake Nixon community--students (including college and graduate students), teachers, and administrators--a fantastic new school year! Whether your school started last week, today, tomorrow, or some other time in the near future, may this be a wonderful year of learning and growing in new and renewed relationships.

As you return, here are a few of our favorite moments from Friday's final day of the summer, including our star-studded talent show!

Stay in touch, come visit anytime, and make plans to join us October 25th for Fall Fest!

Whew! Yesterday was the final day of camp for the summer 🥲 and last night we celebrated and recognized our wonderful summer staff. More photos coming soon, but we've got some catching up to do . . . . .

Thursday was our final theme-dress day of the year ("Cowabunga"), along with plenty of typical camp fun!

As always, we are grateful to the many individual donors and this summer's corporate/organizational camp sponsors who help make Lake Nixon financially accessible to more families. THANK YOU!!

Would you or your organization like to join with us as we keep working to make wonderful camp experiences possible at Lake Nixon for as many of our neighbors as we can?

We were glad to welcome The Summit Church: Little Rock for another year!

With a new school year nearing, The Summit Church capped off its summer on Sunday with an evening of baptisms and barbecue, as well as a fiercely contested pie-making competition.
