Every summer I look forward to one week: the week Loras All-Sports Camp begins. The six summers I have spent at camp have been the best weeks of my life. In my time there I have built lifelong friendships, learned valuable lessons and strengthened my relationship with God. All-Sports Camp’s 8 Christian values:
LOVE

CHRISTIANITY

The Loras College Paddle Award® is a unique way of developing Christian values and sportsmanship in campers. Each of the eight letters in the acronym, L-C-P-A-D-D-L-E, represents a characteristic of Christianity and sportsmanship. A council fire is held at the end of the week where campers receive a brand on their paddle. To earn the paddle and the brands, the camper must follow the Four Golden Rules of camp: be a good listener, follow instructions, try hard and have fun. The camper’s goal is to earn all eight brands during his/her years at camp.
