2010 Banquet = AWESOMENESS.

Our annual YL banquet was a huge success! Approximately 100 student servers and leaders took part in a 400 person banquet catered by BBCuties. We got to hear from kids who were part of amazing video testimonies about what YL has done in their lives. We also got to hear DREW & ELLIE perform!! It was an amazing night!

Thank you to all who volunteered and served to make it great!

Sharptop Cove - Day 3

We are so busy here at Sharptop, it's hard to find a chance to update the blog.  Day 3 was an awesome day filled with Pool Olympics, Club, Real Life, and Minute to Win It Leader Challenge in which our very own Chris Miksa won the grand prize - pizza delivered to his cabin of guys after the cabin bell last night.

A crazy rain storm in the late afternoon did not even come close to slowing us down as kids went slip-sliding down every grass hill on camp!  The sun's come back and it's another beautiful day here at the Cove!

Sharptop Cove - Day 2

We made it to camp around 2:30 yesterday and haven't slowed down since.  As soon as we stepped off the buses, kids scattered to the giant swing, the zip line, climbing wall, slides, and blob.  Last night we had our first club and after that each cabin ran wild through the forest in the Sharptop Obstacle Course.

This morning we had our All-Camp Volleyball Tournament in which the senior guys from Allen took the championship and even defeated the previously-undefeated Camp Staff Team 15-0!!  Our Senior girls also won the Spirit Competition at the Volleyball Tourney!  We are all having a blast!!

Camp is next month!

FLOWER SALE ENDS April 2nd!!!

Hey Y'all!

If you are going to camp this summer, you MUST participate in the easiest fundraiser to ever come to our area - the annual FLOWER SALE. These things practically sell themselves! People are buying spring flowers NOW - why not do it to help a camper? AND the flowers are priced comparably to Lowe's/Home Depot. So get out there and get selling while there's still time!!

And remember, a 'No' to flowers, could be a 'YES' to a cash or check donation!
