We started off the day with a healthy breakfast at 8:00. Shortly afterwards, Quiet times took place. All the campers found a comfortable quiet place outside to complete the quiet time in their booklets. They also had sufficient time left over to spend in prayer to talk with God. When the quiet time was over we moved to the chapel at 9:00. In the whole day we accumulated many new things to take home with us. We learned that Even though you have heard things over and over in church, God sometimes shows us different things every single time we take it in. So, no matter the countless times we have heard something in church we need to keep our ears and our hearts open. God might just be knocking at a new door in your heart with new information you have heard before. Canteen Break was from 9:45 to 10:15. Following that was family talk back time at 10:15 to 11:00. It allowed us time to meet in our groups(blue,red,orange,and green)and continue to learn more about God and the bible. Then the crazy uproar began. It was time for Chaos. From 11:00 to 12:30 the youth had fun getting the staff messy with flour, chocolate syrup, crackers, water, and many more hard to get out of your hair things. They had a blast! When they weren’t playing they were cheering. It was most definitely a competition with all the cheers. Then there was a game to see who could steal the most pins from the other team. It was kind of like capture the flag but, everyone had three pins. It was completely mad, crazy, and fun! When that was over it was time to eat. There was chocolate pudding, chicken fingers, beans, macaroni, and salad to replenish us for the energetic time at the lake. When the lake opened at 2:15 there was swimming, paddle boats, ziplineing, sliding, and just a chance to have a fantastic time under the supervision of our trained staff. At 5:00 we had dinner then cabin time with staffers. We got to know the youth more and hangout with them. I personally loved getting to know the youth more. From what I have experienced they are all very unique and special; every single one of them. Bible study was at 6:15. Following bible study was chapel then a very empowering movie. The movie taught us about faith and how we must praise God when we are up and when we are down and sustain our faith in Him. Also that we must keep growing and always remain faithful. God can do some wonderful things we just have to believe. Then lights out at 10:45. It was a wonderful, interesting, fun, and spiritual filling day.
