I think that the people here are wonderful, and the people I have met have been a blast to hang out with!” -Hannah Channel; Thermopolis, WY; LDS“This is my 4th year coming to this camp and I am never disappointed each year. I’ve learned new skills, conquered my fear of heights and made amazing friends. I feel closer to God and that I can do anything with God’s help. My favorite part of this year was going on the high ropes courses and going on the hike with Catherine and Juli. I had a great time this year.” –Nicole F. King, Laramie, WY
“This camp is a great place to make new friends. This is my second year and I have always loved it. I feel closer to God and closer to the people around me.

“I had some awesome times at camp this week! I accomplished my goal! My goals was to make great friend and meet new people. I met a girl named Selena and she is amazing! She faced her fears this week and she totally opened my eyes to a whole new goal! I also met a guy named Sage, he was awesome! We both had the same interests and we had some interesting conversations Lol. The best thing about camp was the bike ride, (I thought) it was so gorgeous and I rode 5 miles! I didn’t think I could do it, but I just kept telling myself I could so I got through it! I had a lot of fun with the counselors. I liked Ben McKay the best because he was so fun and goofy and talkative . I had a lot of fun this week and kinda want to come back next year.” -Natalie Jessie; Laramie, WY“This was the greatest week of the summer! The high ropes and the low ropes were amazing.

“Fishing! That’s it for now!” –Kegan Johnson; Encampment, WY; Encampment Episcopal Church
“What I loved about HR Camp is rock climbing and high ropes. I liked them because I liked going so high up in the air. I also liked mountain biking. I liked that because I ride bikes all the time.

“The one thing I’ll remember about HR Camp. The thing I’ll remember is the hike, because of the natural beauty. Also because of all the energy we exerted into what seems like 7 miles.

“Jr. High Adventure Camp- I would be difficult for me to overstate how impressed and proud I am of the group of kids we have had this week. They all came with clearly defined goals of what they wanted to accomplish, and to a person I believe they have achieved those goals. I have seen a maturity, willingness to help others, and a general respect and regard for each other that is so difficult to find in this age group. They truly could teach many adults what it means to “come to Christ as a child.” My one and only hope is that I have had even a fraction of the effect on their lives as they have had on mine, and I’m am immensely thankful our diocese has a place that can encourage children to develop new friendships, realize new potential within themselves, and grow closer to God.” -Ben McKay (staff; 22 yrs); Laramie/Thermopolis, WY; St. Matt’s/Holy Trinity“I come back every year because of the same thing, amazing times, great food, and the pleasurable company of being around people without judgment.” –Tyler Caldwell (staff; 16 yrs); Rock Springs, WY; Holy Communion
