Get messy. Get dirty. Get wet. Clean it all up, and do it again! Camp is a place to explore your goofy side, your artistic side, or just have fun without worrying about breaking a rule. Getting silly in Week 8!

What are 3 things we love ?
* All the joy of the "No Utensil Tuesday" tradition... spaghetti night!
* Our generous friends @YETI who gifted the camp a full line of insulated bags and coolers for camper medications!
* Camp Allen Summer Camp Nurses! They are truly the best!

There’s more going on at Camp Allen than just Summer Camp! This week we welcome back our longtime partners Joni & Friends for Family Retreat, an organization committed to the mission that anyone with a disability can find hope, dignity, and their place in the body of Christ.

One of our Week 2 campers Ella Rae (age 9) sent us this amazing drawing today of our legendary Giant Squid in the lake! From her mom, she "drew this rendition of the “Giant Squid” including Hannah’s Hut, the canoes, view of campsite 3, and the blob all from memory." How awesome!
