Oklahoma Firefighter's Burn Camp

Each year we leave camp with a heart full of new memories and our eyes filled with tears. We all look anxiously forward to the first day of camp, knowing all to well how we are going to feel in five short days.  The passion we carry for this camp is undescribeable and can only be understood if you are present. For most of us, this is the best five days of the year. As the campers and counselors begin to arrive, you instantly know that this is a very special event. The smiles, the laughter, and the tears of joy fall in copious amounts as we all embrace and begin catching up. With the addition of several new campers and counselors this year, camp was the best ever! We had a tie between Jeremiah(7) and Hunter (10)for the boy’s camper of the week. The girls camper of the week was Glenda(14). A Tulsa firefighter we refer to as “TowerGuy” was selected as male couselor of the week and nurse Michelle was selected as female couselor of the week.  Both the facility and the faculty at Dry Gulch U.S.A. were great as always! The Wii tourney at the full size I-Max movie theater was a blast. Also, let’s not forget to mention the mechanical bull and mechanical  roping  horse. These new activities are in addition to the usual activities like horseback riding, go-carts, waterpark, arcades, fishing tourney, wake boarding, scavenger hunt, arts and crafts, talent show, karaoke, dance, ect. I miss everyone already!  more info and pics. to soon follow.
