Junior 2: Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

Even with the rain that fell on us this morning and the very humid weather the rest of the day, we are still having so much fun together!

This morning we started our day off at Flagpole, but we had an abbreviated time of stretches and warming up before breakfast. Afterwards, we all headed to the Dining Hall to eat a wonderful breakfast of pancakes and sausage prepared by our hardworking cooks.






When our tummies were satisfied and we were ready to go, we went back to our cabins to clean and decorate to today's theme of "Medieval Times." Later in the morning, the "Snooper" will investigate each cabin's cleanliness and decorations. The cleanest cabin that also has the most creative decorations will get to enter into lunch first, carrying the "Flaming Torch" trophy (a plunger trophy). It's a high honor :)

When our cabins were clean and decorated, we went out with our cabins to begin Bible Study for the day. Today's Bible Study centered around 1 John chapter 2. This chapter calls us to love one another and also warns against loving the things of the world. These two things can definitely give us a new picture of what "love" truly means. After reading through this chapter, our cabin groups discussed what they found in this chapter and how we can apply it to our lives.

Following Bible Study, our choice activities for the day began! Today's choice activities included floor hockey, time in the game room, crafts, swimming, nine-square, dodgeball, and archery!

When our second choice activity for the day came to a close, we gathered together for lunch. Cabin 3B got to enter in first, because their cabin was the cleanest and decorated the best! Congrats, girls! :) Today's delicious lunch was macaroni & cheese, corn bread, peaches, and chocolate cookie bars for dessert!

After lunch, we went back to our cabins to enjoy some rest time to recharge and boost our energy for the rest of the day.

When rest time was over, we gathered together in the chapel for our all-camp activity! For today's all-camp activity, we all watched "What's in the Bible?" This video breaks down the Bible in a very entertaining way, and our campers loved it! :)









After our all-camp activity, our rotations for the day began! Today's rotations continued from yesterday. Two teams went swimming, one team spent time playing games in the gym, and one team worked on a craft and team builders! After the first rotation and a break at the snack shack, the teams rotated activities.

When rotations came to a close, the camp was opened up for free time. During free time, campers are free to play games like GaGa, tether ball, carpet ball, swing, or even just relax and talk to one another outside.

After free time, we gathered together in the Dining Hall again for dinner! This evening's dinner was mashed potatoes, turkey gravy, biscuits, green beans, and jello cake for dessert!

When we had finished eating dinner, we got ready to play this evening's game. The game of the evening was Jailbreak! Everyone ran hard and had a lot of fun.

Following this evening's game, we all gathered in the chapel for worship and another great message from "What's in the Bible?" It's always so encouraging to be surrounded by campers singing their hearts out to God, and it's a joy to get to join them in such a special part of our day.

When chapel ended, everyone headed back to the cabins to go to sleep. We had a wonderful Wednesday for sure!

This week has been a week of learning and of growth, and it's been so much fun! We can't wait to see how the Lord is going to move and work in the rest of the week we have with these campers. We trust and believe He has big things planned for our week. We hope and pray that our campers would be receptive to what God wants to teach them, and that seeds of growth would be planted so that when they leave this place they would continue to grow in their knowledge of our great God.

Here's to the rest of the week! :)
