Post-Camp Wednesday

Today was a great day at camp. There is an awesome group on retreat here and we have been doing a lot of fun stuff! This morning we played an awesome game of paintball. The teams were 14 against 15 and it was intense and action packed couple of rounds. After paintball we all went down to the lake for another group session of blobbing, zip-lining, and sliding. Today could not have been more action packed!

The Finale of Tuesdays!

staff — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:43:55 +0000

Another awesome Tuesday… what a surprise, right? Actually, no not really. It was a terrific day to finish up our Tuesdays of the summer. we woke up early to a full breakfast and then met with our staffers for quiet time. From there we went to Praise Gathering and learned an awesome song called “Jesus is the River of Love”, also known as Jesus is the Rock and He rolls my blues away. BOP SHOE BOP SHOE BOP WHOOOOO! Sorry, I got a little carried away, but it’s a great song, probably my favorite from the summer. After Praise Gathering, we had team Bible Study and then walked up to the Low Ropes Course. It was a lot of fun and took a great deal of teamwork to work around each obstacle that awaited us. From there we went to lunch and then to Peanut Patch. I play Putt Putt and have a blast. When I was younger I even dreamed of being a professional golfer. Anyway, then we went to LAKE TIME! It is a big highlight for many campers. With the Blob, the Bullet, the zipline, canoes, crafts, and swimming there is SO much to do! We even got some extra cabin time and were able to spend it getting to know our cabinmates. Then we went to dinner and had a great chapel service where Mr. Frank talked about the Fruit of the Spirit and how we as Christians can and should be displaying these fruit in what we say, think, and do. During our cabin devotion, we played a game with a beach ball throwing it around having everyone name a Fruit of the Spirit and what it means. I think it helped us all to remember what each fruit represented. It was a fantastic last Tuesday and I’m sad to say it was the last for the summer. I can’t wait until next year!!!

Then the campers got all there stuff together and prepared for our final team activity, Trash Pick Up. Got the camp looking nice and good. Then had our closing ceremonies. It was our final day of camp for the whole summer. And we’re all very excited to see what’s in store for next year.

As this summer comes to an end, we would like to offer an easy way to continue supporting our journey towards the future God is ever drawing us towards. The next step in this journey is the construction of family cabin units that will enhance our ability both to host retreats as well as expand the capacity of our summer camps.
