2025 JD McCarty Center Camp ClapHans Star Parties- June-July and October!

I have checked with Sharla at JDMC, she is good with moving to tomorrow night.

Gerald and I headed out to JDMC for the last kids camp star party this summer. It was just Gerald and I, but we had a very small group at this camp, so things turned out well. :slight_smile:

With storms to the South heading toward us, we held on and got a few kids and councilors in front of eyepieces of multiple scopes and some binoculars.

Here are some pictures taken via a drone flight we also managed to get going before dark:

Storms brewing to the South:

A couple of aerial shots of Gerald and I with our setups:


And here is a video I filmed after setting up some quick waypoints for a flight pattern (apologies in advance, this was done quickly and I have not tried to edit it, and this video might go away at some point. This was done purely for recreational purposes for myself):

Nice drone shots!

Are they holding rodeos at the center now?

Not as you know it. :slight_smile: They do horse riding for the kids.

That’s really nice!

Here is a message from Sharla Bardin of JDMC. (The first line is in response to the pictures and video I shared.)

Hi Chris, thank you so much for these! They are great!

But I didn’t want to pass up the chance to tell you and the other club members how much we appreciate all the time, effort and enthusiasm you all put into coming to see us for every camp session.
We are so grateful for all that the club does for our camp!

Thanks so much,

Sharla
