A day for the record books!
June 21, 2010
All of us staffers awoke with excitement this morning because we knew the campers would be here soon! We We made the last touch ups to get the camp ready for all of our friends that would join us for the week. After lunch, the busses, vans, trucks, and cars started rolling in, bringing one of the coolest bunches of people I have ever met. After everyone got settled in their cabins, we headed down to Clark Lake. The campers and staff were pumped and ready for a great swim time, and a GREAT swim time it was! Some poeple blobbed, some slid, some joined in a intense game of teatherball, and some swam in the awesome lake and met new friends. Swim time ended and cabin time began. The boys and girls got ready for the first team activity. The teams met and the cheers started! Each team shouted and cheered as we played and encouraged each other. After team activity came a delicious barbecue dinner with apple cobbler and ice cream for desert. YUM! Soon after dinner, teh praise band led us for the first time this week. We learned the theme song and the motions to go with it. We samg more great songs and we enjoyed each one while we worshipped our Savior. Mr. Frank shared a message with us about God knocking at our heart’s door. The staff and campers listened and learned as mr. Frank told us about how God knocks at our heart and wants to come in and be a part of our lives and the Lord of our lives. Many students answered that knocking and prayed to receive Christ. After the great and moving chapel service, we headed to our first canteen break. We had fun talking and playing together while we ate some tasty snacks. The team volley ball tournament got underway and all four teams played great! We will continue our tournament later in the week to find the volley ball champs! We concluded the night activities by creating still pictures with our teams. The girls and boys showed a ton of creativity as they made living pictures of starry night, a solar eclipse, a hot air balloon, and fire works. The boys and girls then headed to their cabins to have devotions and get ready for an awesome day tomorrow!
