’Twas the night before camp, and all through the pines,
The Blob sat in silence, awaiting good times.
The canteen was stocked with sweet treats on the shelf,
And a disco ball waited to light up the night itself.
The pools stood still under the warm Texas sky,
While arrows and targets waited nearby.
The Giant Squid rested, the Iceberg stood tall,
And Bedlam dreamed shaving cream dreams over all.
Circle Pizza was ready, and cookies with milk,
The pine trees stood quiet, the lake smooth as silk.
The cabins were waiting, the counselors too,
For a summer of friendship, adventure, and faith made new.
Tomorrow families will roll through the gate,
As Camp Allen begins its 105th summer—we can hardly wait.
On behalf of our board, leadership, permanent staff, senior staff, resident counselors, cabin counselors, adult volunteers, nurses, and media team - welcome campers! Over 450 of us have been praying for you, preparing for you, and can't wait to share another unforgettable summer at Camp Allen. Welcome home.
