We returned to RCP to our cabin, Sarah, for the eleventh out of the last twelve years (missing one year due to COVID cancellation). This time we were joined by the Jungingers; they finally gave in and came to our week! We enjoyed Sandra Richter's morning talks on Deborah and the Judges and Andy Lewis' evening talks on Singing the Blues through the Psalms. We played ultimate frisbee, archery, kickball, ping pong, bingo, basketball, lap swimming, and volleyball. Alas, there were not many medals won this year, but great competition and exercise were had in all events. The boys brought Marvel Villainous to camp to play with Ben who had inspired them to purchase the game. We also performed our annual Star Wars themed skit which dealt with staffing shortages at RCP and their need to turn to a galaxy far, far away to obtain interview candidates to fill positions.
