Families came out to Camp Newaygo Friday night to enjoy the nice weather and some Holiday Cheer. Santa Himself made a special stop at Camp Newaygo. He hung out next to his sleigh all evening and enjoyed some colorful Christmas gift requests.
His reindeer were stationed out at the Rangers Stables. Molly (still auditioning for the Santa Team) and Prancer snuggled up next to each other to keep warm. We found out that the clip clop you hear on your rooftop is actually the reindeer hooves! Who knew?!?
Santa's elves were busy at the Craft Shop helping families make ornaments and Christmas Cards for recovering soldiers. The elves, particularly Jalisa, got questions about height. It is a common misconception that all elves are short. How else would the elves reach toys on the top shelf?
Some kids were so excited to see Santa, they tired themselves out before they even made it to the main event. Check out April, David, and Brayden with Santa.
Everyone was excited to see Santa, but none more than Summer, from our Youth Advisory Council. Summer asked Santa for World Peace...and maybe a Pony. The Youth Advisory Council has met every month this year, and has helped out with several Camp Newaygo Events.
Now that Santa and S'mores is behind us, it's time to start looking forward to the Winter Reunion! Everyone get your tacky sweaters ready!!!
