A note from the boys at Bates Abode.....
To the amazing filth deciders of this camp, through the dust and darkness you are our lamp.
Your strict rules keep us in line
So that we might have a very good time.
We’re sorry that this doesn’t rhyme.
We apologize for any mess
The deeper filth we won’t confess
As you sift though all our junk
We are sorry if any of it stunk
Just don’t look under the bunk
Because you might find the boogieman and behind him a soda can
The mats on the floor may make you frown but it’s simple, don’t look down and keep checking all around
And now we have one more thing to say to warm your heart in every way
We love you dearly, we love you true
It doesn’t matter what you do.
Affectionately,
The Storm Troopers
...And now back to the Cabin Inspectors.
Bates Abode
The deciders of clean found your note on the door
The account that you gave was a prattling rave.
The in the doorknob was turned
And within it we learned
That the Bates Abode are
A tidy bunch by far.
Yet please do take note
That to do it by rote
Loose items on the top bunk
Are viewed as inspector “eye junk”
Pederson’s Pad ((Winner))
(Read to the cadence of hymn “O For a Thousand Tongues”)
Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
Your neat ‘n tidy ways
The glories of Pederson’s Pad
The triumphs of the place.
The sharpness of the cabin was
A spectacle to see
It heralded a model home for the Bates
And the Busbys.
Bates Bungalow
(Song to the tune of “Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole)
Unacceptable that’s what you are
From near and far.
That’s why cabin it’s incredible
That a group we see as flexible
Thinks that their stuff strewn
All over is funny
Busby’s Habitat
(Sung to the tune of “Someone’s In The Kitchen With Dina”)
Someone’s done the clean up at Busby’s
Campers done the straightening I kno-o-o-ow
Teen girls did a good job at Busby’s
All cleaned up and ready to go

Sauerkraut, Bibles & Dead Birds...Oh My!
Wednesday 7/30/08
Pederson's Pad
Your creativity continued - oh my, what a change... From previous years when things were so strange! Yesterday, impressive... Today not too bad - as a full couse meal was prepared in your pad. Your names were displayed on the end of each rack so we know who you are... Nick, Matt, Ben, Eric, & Zack. Even Mr. Pederson's name was to be found - on the bunk down low - low down by the ground.
Bates Abode
The place was not too bad - two days in a row! BUT...The smell in the air made us hurry & go. Not sure what it was... We didn't find out... Some used socks? Your favorite shoes? Some old sauerkraut? Yes, it was quite neat, though we’ve not much else to tell... Oh unless we remember that overwhelming smell! Should you one day decide to let some fresh air in... It just may qualify your team for a win!
Bates Bungalow
The garbage was empty - you surely caught on- you must’ve got started right after dawn. Your Bibles were open and laid on each bunk -- with some dogs and a pachyderm but nary a sunk. “Cleanliness is next to godliness” you say... Yes it did show - in your cabin so clean the whole place was aglow. Neat as a pin - your sin all confessed - the judges today were really impressed.
Busby’s Habitat
This place was quite nice - many Bibles were out - the bunks for your sleeping had left little doubt - that mom gave instructions before you left home, “Keep the place clean or you’ll be sleeping alone!” The “who bird” was laying in the same place on the bed - we were beginning to wonder if the poor thing were dead.And then it was heard... You couldn’t miss it of course... The Bible itself being read by a horse!
You all did so good - your folks would be proud - but one cabin alone must be proclaimed aloud... As the cabin to which all the rest bowed. Around the world the inspectors did go and no place was found that could beat Bates Bungalow!!

Sleeping With Swords
Cabin Inspector's Note #1
Tuesday 7/29/08
Stop #1 was at "Pederson's Pad" - As we entered the door things didn't look half bad! Are you this neat at home the inspectors wondered aloud...or, is this merely for show at Camp Hope- because you've been encouraged by a crowd? An assortment of blades was arrayed on one bed - surely any lions or bears visiting here will quickly be dead! Oh no, what is this, out side on a post? Raja, the tiger, acting as a host. He sort of looks tame and hopefully won't bite or this cabin of boys may be eaten tonight! Overall your group did very, very well - this is a story you must take home... Your mother's to tell!
Bates Abode was the next stop today...where we discovered quite an impressive spiritual display. Each bunk had a Bible and a flashlight as well...Why were they there? We thought we could tell! They must stay up late reading the word - taking to heart all they have heard - applying the truth to mind and soul - surely this is the boys commendable goal! Well we could stay here but it's time to go --- On to the girl's cabins and...
Bates Bungalow. Wow, what a difference in a cabin like this - so much more 'stuff'... Clothes bags galore... stashed & stowed so neat on the floor. Girls live here - that is so clear. Hey there's an elephant and a dog neat on a bed... The dog has a hat pulled down on it's head... And then there is a soccer moose! Or is it a soccer mouse? No! No! It's got to be a soccer pooch whose been on the go - looks like he's come from Green Bay and is taking a nap for the rest of the day. All in all you did quite well... Next time empty your garbage and it will be really swell!
Busby's Habitat ... Now where is it at? Look up to the heavens - yes, up to the sky and keep climbing the stairs 'till you're up very high. There is a big crowd in this cabin - that's clear! An owl got in - it's resting on a bed - oh, wow. Oh, wow - a horse did too - boy he looks well fed! So many fans has this "upper room" got... So close to the sun it must get really hot. You have done remarkably well cleaning your space. For best overall you made a very good case!
All in all y'all did real grand but one cabin stood out in Camp Hope Land. There was one cabin that was "a cut above". So neat and so clean... As "sharp" as could be... Pederson's Pad is tops for Tuesdee!
