Midget cabins house our youngest division here at the Heart. They are campers aged 6, 7 and 8. The youngest girls on camp – perhaps the trickiest. I have been a midget counselor for the past two summers. I have loved time being amongst the midgets and hope to return next year again with them. But what is it like? Living …

Camp Changes Lives
My love for The Heart started when I became a counselor there at nineteen. I spent eight more summers sharing my talents; encouraging young girls to set and reach their goals; planting seeds of confidence in those young hearts; leading girls down a path of thoughtfulness and kindness; teaching girls how to fail with pride and succeed with grace; but …
Is your child ready for camp?
The easiest way to know that your child is ready for camp…they tell you! But let’s be real, it’s not that easy! Here are some questions to ask yourself: 1. Does my child spend the night out? 2. Will my child eat food prepared by someone other than me? 3. Can my child bathe themselves and take care of basic …
Singing at The Heart
Here at The Heart, it’s not just a stereotype. We sing on tribe hills, on the Front Lawn, at worship, and after every meal… just for starters. Someone in the early days put the words on paper, and over the decades, the songbook has evolved. Every term a favorite song or two will emerge, and it tickles me to witness …

Campers are gone, so what is there to do in the Off-Season?
It used to bother me when people assumed that after the campers were gone, we just propped our feet up and ate bonbons on some Caribbean isle until next summer rolled around. If they only had an inkling! Granted, we don’t have a full complement of staff to delegate everything to, but it’s crazy how there is *never* a dull …
Required fun (August)
About a year ago at the annual fall meeting of CAMP (Camping Association for Mutual Progress), held at Camp Olympia, we learned of their custom of Required Fun. The concept is that people who work in the camp office trudge in day after day and interact over the computer and phone, easily forgetting how most of the constituency thrills at …
Triple S musings
We love Triple S, when the moms come and join their daughters at The Heart for some traditional camp activities. Often during the summer, there is so much administrative stuff going on that I am “stuck” in the office (it isn’t a bad place to keep tabs on what’s happening around camp). But Triple S is different. It’s a small …
2012 Camp Stewart Jr. National Polocrosse Team Announced
With polocrosse becoming very popular this summer at camp, I am excited to announce that the 2012 National Polocrosse Tournament will be held right here in Hunt, Texas at Camp Waldemar. Everyone in the area is anxiously getting ready for the tournament. Between Heart O’ the Hills and Camp Stewart, we had a lot of really talented polocrosse players. Six …
