Monday Junior High 1: Accountability

With breakfast and cabin clean up done for the day the campers headed off to chapel where they participated in high intensity singing, a bible verse put to a memorable tune, and danger on the high seas with our pirate buddies. The remainder of the morning consisted of personal devotions and the rest of the orientation rotation. The girls took to the low ropes course and the boys invaded the beach and the hay ride. After a tasty lunch, some k-bar, and a camp picture we played one awesome game of whip n' strip. Blue, Green, Red and Orange faced off in a very well played game that ended in a draw. Then free time with every area bustling with campers! Dinner and a visit from egg man led into the first cabin time of the week. The cabins enjoyed bonding over the different activities around camp. Chapel came next with some great songs and a testimony from a staff member that fit right into the theme of the day...the reality of sin. The speaker told us about how, with all of the struggles that we deal with, somebody else is inevitably dealing with the same struggles. WIth that he spoke to the importance of accountability so that we are held to a higher standard and we have somebody to help us if we begin to fall back into the old temptations. Then a very creative game of fugitive where Richard Simmons, The artist formerly known as prince and a sack of potatoes showed up. That ended the day on a good note and the campers headed back to their cabins for devotions and to crawl into bed for a good night's sleep.
