Cabin 2 got to get up early this morning and go Polar Bearing in the lake! The rest of us got up at the usual time and started our day around the flagpole to stretch and get ready for the day.
When everyone was ready to go, we all headed into the dining hall for a yummy breakfast, and then we headed back to our cabins for cabin clean-up.Today's decoration theme for cabin clean-up was: "Dinosaurs!" The campers were very creative with how they incorporated today's theme, but Cabin 4A was excellent in both cleanliness, and creativity! The boys of this cabin made a "Bed-osaurus" out of sleeping bags and other bedding, and even used flashlights for the eyes! These boys received the honor of the flaming plunger, and they got to head into lunch first!
After cabin clean-up, it was time for Bible study. Today's passage can be found in Matthew 14:13-36. This passage discusses Jesus feeding the 5,000, and also Jesus walking on water. We discussed what these miracles can teach us and how we can apply those lessons to our daily walk with Christ.
Following Bible Study, we began choice activities. Today's choice activities included hockey in the gym, swimming, crafts, archery/slingshots, nine square in the air, carpet ball and more! When everyone participated in both of their choice activities, it was time to head back to the dining hall for lunch. When everyone's bellies were happy and full, it was time to head back to the cabins to rest for a little while.After cabin time, it was time for the all camp activity! Today's all camp activity was "Clothes Pin Tag!" Everyone ran around the basketball court trying to take each other's clothes pins off their backs. There was a lot of running, and even more laughter! :)
When the all camp activity came to a close, everyone broke off into their teams to begin rotations. Today's rotations were "Wet Kickball," a video in the gym, and swim time! Everyone started out at one activity, and eventually after rotating, everyone had the chance to experience each activity. Today "Wet Kickball" was a hit! It's usually a favorite, especially on a warmer day like today!
"Wet Kickball" involves a different way of getting soaked and cooled off at each base. You even get to slide into home on a small slip 'n slide! :)
When everyone had rotated through their activities, free time was opened up around the camp. This is a time used to hang out, relax, and play camp games like GaGa, tether ball, carpet ball, nine square in the air, and more!
Following free time, everyone headed in for a delicious supper! When everyone was full of energy again, it was then time to head in for an early chapel. We had a guest speaker today from the Euell Wilson Center, Shirly Woods. Shirly founded the Euell Wilson Center in Fort Wayne, and Bear Lake has partnered with her ministry for years. Shirly discussed with us that each of us are valuable, because we have Jesus in our hearts, and Jesus is royalty. She also discussed with us that this makes us royalty as well!
Each girl got a tiara from Shirly, and each boy got a crown, so that we can always remember that we are valuable and forgiven no matter what!
When Shirly was finished speaking, everyone split up into their cabin groups to talk with each other and their counselors about what we learned in chapel.
Following discussion time with our cabins, it was time for our Evening activity: Buzz Lightyear! An all-time favorite for Bear Lake campers.
When our evening activity ends, it will be time to get ready for bed, thus ending our Terrific Tuesday here at camp. We are having so much fun so far, and we can't wait to see what else God has in store for us this week! :)
