It was an absolutely beautiful day for the first day of Senior High 2! A simple filling breakfast was followed by the cabin clean up, chapel and tools of faith. Tools of faith is a time that is special for senior high when the campers go to one of four tools of faith each day and learn more intensely about it. One, for instance is study. It stresses the importance of studying God's word, our environment, and ourselves so that we can be aware of that which is surrounding us. After tools of faith was personal devos and then the last thing before lunch was Tourney time/hang out time. There were some basketball and volleyball tournaments going on, as well as just some games for fun. Lunch and KBAR were followed by an awesome game of tube mania! After an all camp rinse in the lake there was free time for the rest of the afternoon. After dinner was cabin time and then another free time. During chapel the speaker talked about how we need to recognize God so that we can also recognize that which is not from God so we may be guided by God alone. The night game was Fugitive, and then the final event of the evening was a vespers service. It was a time for more thoughtful worship and reflection on God in our own lives.

Through fun water activities at the beach and ball field the boys came out victorious this week, but don't worry, everybody had fun! After free time was dinner and then CHAOS, during chaos there was a few rounds of two truths and a lie, where three people tell crazy stories, and two are telling the truth, and one is stretching the truth, and the campers have to guess who is telling the lie. Afterwards was connect, which was just a time to hang out and play in the gym or volley ball or just chill before Chapel. After chapel was the evening game which was fugitive. The final event of the evening was the Drama, where the campers learned about the transforming powers of God.

What a great day at Covenant Pines! The campers woke up refreshed and ready to start their first full day. First word, which is a time for a quick devotional thought in the morning, was before breakfast. After breakfast each day the campers do some cabin clean up, which they earn cabin points for. Then it was morning chapel. During morning chapel there is worship time skits time and a daily verse, put to a popular song of the day. Personal devos time followed, and then it was skills time. Skills time is a time to learn a new talent/random activity. After lunch and KBAR (Kick Back and Relax) was the Big Game, which was the traditional and much loved Tuesday Whip N' Strip. Three of the four teams were victorious in winning a round! Free time was what took up the rest of the afternoon and the campers got the chance to pick whatever activity they wanted to participate in for as long as they wanted to participate in it! After dinner and CHAOS (mail Call) there was some cabin time and then Chapel where the campers learned about the ten commandments and how they apply to their lives today. The night game was CPBC Clue, and then it was time to head back to cabins for devos and lights out.

The first day of JH2 was a great one! It was a little bit rainy in the morning, but that never gets us down! Breakfast was followed by Cabin clean up. Each day there is a little bit of time set aside for cabin clean up and the cabins compete to have the cleanest cabin and win points for their cabin. Then it was time for chapel. During morning chapel there is worship, a daily bible verse, and skits. During the skits today the crew of the S.S. Covenant pines set out on the voyage into space. After chapel they had some personal devo time to spend some silence with God. Then it was skills time. However, it was raining and thundering, so there were some special rainy day options, such as Bunco and Lightening/basketball, among other things. After lunch there was a bit of KBAR (Kick Back and Relax). Then, WHIP N' STRIP! This was quite an intense game of whip n' strip because the field was wet from the rain, but that just made it all the more fun for the campers. Afterwards it was free time. The campers got to have fun doing whatever they wanted around camp for a couple of hours. When dinner was done, there was mail call, and tonight was night one of Deal or No Deal CPBC Style. Then it was pack play. During Jr. High camps the cabins are split into different colored Packs and they spend time together each day to prepare for the Pack Attack on friday. Then it was time for Chapel. After chapel was the Night game which today was Capture the Duck. An old camp tradition. Afterwards it was time to head back to the cabins for cabin devos and some good sleep.

It was a fun filled final full day of TB2! Though still sort of chilly, nothing can stop CPBC from pulling out all of the stops! The morning was the same as the others, though no less wonderful. The Big game today was CPBC Space Clue. The campers had to follow clues to different characters hidden around camp. The campers took every opportunity they could to participate in camp activities during free time. Including swimming and red sharking, despite the chilly weather. During CHAOS tonight, Egg man came to visit. He told quite the story about eggs, and then a camper proceeded to egg a staff member. From there the campers went to a new event, which is the end of the week camp fire. They were split up into different groups to go and make smores at campfires, and just hang out and talk about how great their week at camp was! The staff skit show was another special event for the evening. The campers got to kick back and watch some pretty funny skits be performed for them. Then it was the final evening chapel of the week. The speaker told them about how the holy spirit places special gifts in us, and that we are to use them to glorify God. Finally, it was bonfire time, and they had the opportunity to share about all of the wonderful things they learned about God this week. Then it was back to cabins for devos and lights out.

For first word today the campers heard the story of Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, and the importance of bowing and worshipping only God instead of idols. Then after breakfast was cabin clean up, followed by Chapel where there was some worship and skits. Following personal devos was Skill time. The sun came out for skill time and the campers had fun learning some new things. Lunch and KBAR were a great time to rest up and energize for the big game which was safari! The campers chased wild animals around camp trying to capture them to win points for the cabin. Then it was free time. During CHAOS tonight, one lucky camper got to play Deal or No Deal CPBC style. Though there was only one contestant, ALL of the campers had fun participating and encouraging the camper to pick the right envelope. Thursday Cabin time was followed by the Evening game which was a new one called Passport. Then it was Chapel where we talked about the promptings and the voice of the Holy Spirit and the different ways that he talks to us, and how because of that we have to be willing to respond to it. Then it was back to the cabin for devos and some sweet dreams.

Day two of clouds, but clouds NEVER stop fun from happening at CPBC. The morning was the same as yesterday except for there was cabin time instead of skills time. The cabins had the opportunity to do some fun stuff around camp with their cabin groups, it's such a great bonding time. Lunch was at the beach today, we had a cook out! The campers loved getting to eat outside instead of the dinning hall. After KBAR (Kick Back and Relax) the beach bash commenced. The campers had fun playing games like water kick ball and grease the pig. All of the options were open for free time so the campers were nice and hungry for dinner! During CHAOS there were some crazy games, possibly including doughnuts, and then there was a little bit of down time, an outside of the cabin KBAR so to speak. Then it was Chapel, which was so great. The speaker told the campers about the holy spirit and how he is always there encouraging us when we think we can't go any further. After the night game, which was fugitive it was the drama, where they were told four stories of God's transforming power. Then it was back to cabins for devos and lights out.
