THWACK! Around and around and around it goes - and where it stops, only Brayden McDermott knows! When on the playground at HPC, this camper walks right past the monkey bars and the slide and the swings, with his eyes on just one prize - the tetherball. This isn't just a simple ball on a string, folks; this game takes intense concentration, athletic ability, and ducking skills to master, and Brayden has it down pat! A popular hangout for the boys on camp, a day doesn't go by when one doesn't see Brayden smacking a tetherball around at least once. Mr. and Mrs McDermott, if Brayden randomly starts to thwack at things once he's back home, it's probably because he's going through tetherball withdrawels.

Can You Hear Me Now?
Clearly the Verizon Network has never been to HPC. Cell phones get terrible reception!
You can still call us, but our phones will most likely go straight to voicemail. Never fear though! Our phones let us know right away that we have a message and so we just have to go to this one special spot that's been found where we can get a cell signal and we'll call you right back! You can also text us if you wish.
For English church kids:
Pearl Lee at 571-839-9910
For Spanish Church kids:
Nathaly Mejia at 703-835-6871
For all other needs or inquiries or if you can't reach Pearl or Nathaly:
Pastor Josh Baker at #571-230-2762

Digital letter writing
If you didn't get a chance to write any letters or you're out of stamps to send your child mail while at camp, never fear! You can still send them notes via these email address and they will be printed out and included in the daily mail. Please do not send any more emails after Thursday evening as there will not be another opportunity to print and give them to the campers after this point.
For English Church kids:
email Pearl at lee.pearlj@yahoo.com
For Spanish Church kids:
email Nathaly at nathalymejia95@gmail.com
