Cascades Camp Blog

We’re having a great time right now during out annual Independence Day Family Camp… and now that we’ve gotten to Saturday morning the sun is finally shining! One of the highlights so far was our “Cascades’ Got Talent” show on Thursday evening in the Rainier Center, there were nearly a dozen great acts during the evening and we thought it would be fun to share a few of them with you here on the blog!

Watch an percussion show by the kitchen crew during the Cascades’ Got Talent show.

It wouldn’t be Family Camp without a Father & Son dance off between Big Joe & Little Joe.

Earlier this week Cascades’ 80 summer and year-round staff participated in the annual Yelm “Prairie Days” parade! This was the third time we’ve had a entry and it’s always a blast saying “hi” to everyone.  For the first time this year we invited the community to come out for our FREE Summer Fun Open House, THIS SUNDAY from 2-5pm. We’re having a petting zoo, carnival games, popcorn, hot dogs, hay rides, pony rides and more! Come from near or far, you’re invited too! Hope to see you here.

April 28th 2010: Dan “MacGyver” Clifford, and Rob “Trane” Mohrweis along with Josh “Miles” Rogers and Claudia “Dirt” Fisher are there to observe the very first test runs of the new “High-Adrenaline” Zip-lines.

vital stats:

• Two twin zip-lines
• Both measuring 575ft long
• The first line begins at Timber Rock by the Climbing Tower and takes you into the heart of Cascades’ 1,000 acre wilderness
• The second line begins right near where the first one ends and takes you back to the opposite side of the Timber Rock Amphitheater
• Design for the zip-lines began this fall and construction started a handful of weeks ago.

How would you like to be the first person to **officially** ride our brand-new zip-lines? We are auctioning off the ceremonial first-ride to the highest bidder! All proceeds go directly to our sponsorship fund. Be on the lookout for information NEXT MONTH.  The first ride “ceremony” will be taking place Thursday, July 1st at 10:45am, during Independence Day Family Camp.
