We had a great first day yesterday, full of activities to get the week started. Unfortunately, the rain got in the way of a few things but we managed to be flexible and still have a lot of fun!
Today we started our day off at flag pole with some stretches and a fun run to get warmed up and energized. Then we headed off to the Dining Hall to enjoy a yummy breakfast together!
Following breakfast we all went back to our cabins for cabin clean-up! We re-organized our things, made our beds, swept the floors, and decorated to today's theme: Dinosaurs! The cabin that is the cleanest and decorated the in the best way will receive the flaming torch/plunger before lunch, and will get to enter into lunch first! It's quite an honor :)
After our cabins were clean and decorated, we went off with our cabin groups for Bible study! Today we read 1 John chapter 2. We took the time to dissect this chapter and discuss what it means and looks like to be "Alive" in Christ, and to live life with Christ.After our Bible studies, we went off to begin our choice activities! Today's choice activities included Archery, GaGa, Nine Square, Carpet Ball, Soccer, Crafts, and swimming!
When our choice activities came to a close, it was time to head into the Dining Hall for lunch! Cabin 4A got to go in first, carrying their trophy plunger, because they had the cleanest and best decorated cabin! Congrats, boys! :) We got to sit around the tables together enjoying one another's company, and a delicious meal of pigs in a blanket, popcorn, applesauce, and pudding for dessert!
When lunch came to a close, we all went back to our cabins for a little bit of rest time to recharge for the rest of our day.
Following cabin time, we gathered around outside to play an all-camp activity. Today's activity was an active version of Tic-Tac-Toe! It was a very fast, intense game that the campers loved and really got excited for! There was a lot of cheering and good competition.
After some rounds of Tic-Tac-Toe, we headed out for our rotations of the day. We went through our rotations with our teams we were put into yesterday afternoon! Half of one rotation included playing games in the gym, while the other half was craft time. The other rotation was swimming! After the first full rotation and a break at Snack Shack, the teams rotated so everyone could enjoy each activity!
When rotations were wrapped up, the camp was open for free time! We could enjoy GaGa, Carpetball, Nine Square, Corn Hole, the swings, Tetherball and more during this time!
After enjoying free time we headed back to the Dining Hall for a wonderful dinner of spaghetti, bread, salad, and ice cream for dessert!
When we were finished eating our yummy meal, we gathered together for our all-camp activity! This evening's game was Goldrush.
After playing Goldrush, it was time to head to the chapel for worship! We sang some great songs and got to hear Devin Reed speak to us about Ephesians 2, and what it looks like when Jesus enters into our sinful lives!
When Devin finished talking with us, we all headed out to have a short discussion with our cabin groups before going back to our cabins for a good night's rest.
It has been an awesome first two days! Our campers are very energized and excited for everything we are doing, and it's so fun to watch and be a part of! We can't wait to grow alongside them this week as we learn more about becoming Alive with Christ. We are continuously praying for our campers, and we can't wait to have even more fun the rest of this week!
