Saltvine Podcasts

We were only able to record one podcast this year at Camp Northward, as filming a whole film noir movie in a week proved to be a unique challenge. But finally, on Friday, the campers and staff all sat down together to reflect on the theme, creative projects, and more camp shenanigans – including a cupcake challenge to celebrate the end of the summer for the Camp Northward staff.

The campers from Woodland Lakes join our staff to discuss the theme for the week, CORE. They reflect on their favorite aesthetics to work on, their favorite improv games, and some highlights and memories they made throughout the week before giving one final so long and "YIPPEE".

The BeCre Campercast is a podcast interviewing current and former Be Creative Campers about everything BeCre, from their preferred camp elements to their packing list. In the first episode, recorded with a live audience at Woodland Lakes, our two returning campers Naomi and Logan tell stories of staff members turning evil, choose their favorite photo challenge prompts, and reflect on how BeCre differs from a "normal" week of church camp.

Before the campers attempt the first ever Wes Anderson foley challenge at BeCre, our staff members reflect on Molécore, the High Ropes, cardboard costumes and other creative projects during Day 2 of Week 2 of BeCre 2024.

Our first staff reflection podcast of the week at Woodland Lakes, staff members Hunter, Shawn, Mary Alice and Owen discuss the group's Day One projects at CORE and more.

The final podcast from the week at Butler Springs, this one features the campers, who bring you songs and stories from the week, as well as questions about the themes SHOW and CHILDISH.

In our last staff podcast from Butler Springs, Hunter and the staff recap a rainy, hot day at SHOW and CHILDISH and the unique challenges the weather presented the group. Then, they preview the incoming twists in the story of the week, explaining what is going to happen and how it relates to the scriptures and morals for the week.

In this episode of the Summer 2024 podcast series, the Dean of BeCre at Butler Springs Hunter takes a break from leading improv games to discuss the week so far. This episode includes the staff's reflections on the highly anticipated Game Show, the Polar Bear Swim, an update on how the group is getting along generally, and what they are most looking forward to as the week crosses the halfway point.

The next episode of our 2024 summer podcast series comes from the morning of the second full day at Bulter Springs.

Rachel, Preston, Ray, Hannah and Tracey recap the first full day, including the week's first Lunch Challenge, camp elements, a magic show, and the latest on the groups ice cream adventures.

Our podcasts are a week late this summer, but we still wanted to share our thoughts and reflections with you.

At the beginning of our first week of camp for the 2024 summer, Rachel leads the staff in a short discussion about our awesome group of 36 campers. The themes are CHILDISH and SHOW, and our first night was filled with getting to know each other, a puppet show, building an ice cream truck, and importantly, no casualties!
