On June 14, a bus arrived from Kalispell to Flathead Lake Bible Camp to drop off a group of about 30 children between the ages of 6 and 12 at the forested camp along the lake's west shore. As the kids disembarked, there was the normal nervous summer camp chatter: some had been coming to Good Grief Camp for years and had friends and knew what to expect, while others only had the 30-minute drive from Kalispell to wonder what the next four days had in store.
Among the campers was 8-year-old Jeremiah Humphrey. Back for his third year, Jeremiah joined the other kids as they found their assigned cabins, dropping duffel bags and sleeping bags on bunk beds, and looked forward to the coming days in which he would hike on the nearby trails, swim in the lake and tackle an obstacle course.
