Centenary College was silent.  Counselors, fresh off a one week orientation were getting what would be the last hours of sleep that they could expect for quite some time.  As the rain began to fall, counselors rose into action, completing the last of the preparations needed before campers were to arrive.  Then, the sky opened up.  Every indentation of every sidewalk soon became a lagoon for  the accumulation of rainwater.  It seemed a dismal day...

And their once shadowed faces, as seen through the tinted windows of the Vanderhoof buses (a change from the widely recognized DeCamp camp buses), became visible.

Soon, the buses were as empty as the campus was only a few hours earlier.

That is, with the help of a few counselors getting all the luggage from under the bus in the pouring rain. (Photo: Mark)

People did all they could to keep themselves and their possessions dry.

Campers were reunited with counselors whom they had not seen since the last summer.

The huddles masses waited patiently in the downpour in order to give those campers a proper welcome.

When it finally did come, and the last piece of the Campus Kids puzzle was put into its correct place, the summer of 2006 began.

But the unofficial start of camp was when, at the beginning of announcements, the announcements song was led by Donald Cleary.  

...and here's CAMP!
