Campers will sometimes tell us that campfire was their favorite part of Big Lake Youth Camp. So what makes Campfire so awesome? What is even Campfire? I will let the photos explain.

All the campers arrive with their counselor and everyone starts getting groovy to the camp songs.

We believe, that which gets recognized, grows. So every night we give out Jesus gems to kids who showed Jesus to others.

Minute! To! Win it!

Then, the Big Lake News segment always includes the future weather, an update on Big Lake Softball, an announcement of the winner from Capture the Flag, and outrageous but true stories.

Sometimes there will be a fashion show featuring the Big Lake line.

Or an appearance by the Banana Man.

The kids get a lot of good laughs in for the day.

The main show of campfire are the plays put on by staff.

And on the last night, the Boys Village counselors perform an extremely emotional lip sync battle.

So that is how you make an awesome campfire without a fire. Cheers!
