Hye Camp 2008 kicks off!!!

Cars, vans, busses and even a stretch limo converged upon Camp Hickory and, though it feels like just yesterday when we were last here, Hye Camp 2008 has begun!!! The afternoon was a scene of hugs & bacheegs, high fives, laughing and catching up until everyone was invited into the Fr. Haroutiun Dagley chapel for introductions and parents orientation.

Fr. Tavit Boyajian, the director of Hye Camp, welcomed all the newly arrived campers, introduced the staff, and led everyone in a short prayer service. DSC04348WEB.jpg

Afterwards, everyone was invited to the traditional Hye Camp opening day cookout where we enjoyed burgers & brats. IMG_0467WEB.jpg

Time flies when you’re having fun and, before we knew it, it was 6:00 and it was time to say goodbye to all the parents and start the Hye Camp program. IMG_0482WEB.jpg

After a full camper & staff welcome meeting, everyone dispersed to their assigned cabins where the staff & campers in each cabin got to spend time together and settle in. An evening snack wrapped up the first day of Hye Camp 2008 and soon everyone was in bed resting up for the first exciting day of classes, singing, dancing, sports, swimming and fellowship.
