Summer 2018 officially kicks off on Sunday, so we thought we’d celebrate with a #TBT to a talent show in the 1990s! #ThrowbackThursday #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

In celebration of the start of paid staff training this week, we thought it’d be a great #ThrowbackThursday to share this photo of our 2002 paid staff in front of former Sidney Dining Hall! #tbt #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

We’re excited to be participating in the #unitedincamping photo challenge this summer. You can be a participant too! Check out @umcrm for more details and while you’re there, view some of the photos of #creation from the first week of the challenge! #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

Kickin’ it back to the early days of what is now known as our Helping Hands week. We love that we can make God’s magnificent #creation available to campers of all ages and abilities! . #skylake18 #throwbackthursday #umcrm #unitedincamping @umcrm (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

We can think of no better way to celebrate John Wesley's heart being "strangely warmed" on this day in 1738 than with a campfire. #aldersgateday #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

With Spring Fling this weekend, we thought this photo from a session of Family Camp back in the 1950s or 60s was perfect for today's #TBT. Those pine trees in the background are taller and clothing styles have changed, but kids still have impecable time for looking away from the camera the moment the photo is taken... #ThrowbackThursday #skylake18 #SpringFling (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

Considering Open House is this Sunday (1:30-5:00), we thought it'd be great to #TBT to a group posing for a photo at another Open House in the late 1940s! #ThrowbackThursday #skylake18 #OpenHouse (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

This #TBT photo of puppet camp in the early 80s reminds us of how camp encourages all of us to embrace our creative sides! #ThrowbackThursday #skylake18 #summercamp (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

Turned out to be a GORGEOUS day. Thanks to all those who joined us for Volunteer Work Day! #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

[skylakecenter]

With Volunteer Work Day coming up this Saturday, we thought it was the perfect time to share this photo of the old bell tower (and some brush in need of a little TLC) as today's #TBT. Info on Work Day on our website. Link in profile. #ThrowbackThursday #skylake18 #skylakeworkday (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

Tomorrow (5/1) is the last day to take advantage of our early bird discount! You're more than welcome to register after tomorrow, but then you'd be leaving money on the table. We mean, we *would* put that money to good use, but we also want to make the camp experience as affordable for you as possible. #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

As this #TBT pic demonstrates, small groups (aka family groups) have been a key part of the Sky Lake Community for generations (and multiple clothing and hairstyle trends!) What's your favorite family group memory? #ThrowbackThursday #skylake18 #summeriscoming (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

The snow is finally melted and the ice on our lake is gone, which means it's totally time to be thinking about all the awesome memories that'll be made here at camp this summer. Even better, there's still time to take advantage of our Early-Bird Discount. Link to website in our profile. #countdowntosummer #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

What are you doing to celebrate #earthday today? Besides finding a great picture of campers going on a mystery hike, we're thinking we might finally get to open our compost windrows for the season! #skylake18 (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

Hard to believe but our annual Open House and 5K Trail Run/Walk is just a month away (Sunday, May 20th) Like this #TBT slide from an Open House in late 1940s, there'll be boating this year too! #Skylake18 #ThrowbackThursday (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)

Dear Winter, nice try with the snow, but I'm still shedding my winter layer of ice! Warmest Regards, Sky Lake. #skylake18 #summeriscoming (at Sky Lake Camp & Retreat Center)
