Thursday Junior High 1: Horizons

What an incredible day! It was nice and cool in the morning, so everybody was able to wear that comfortable hoodie they brought to camp or bought from the store, and we were fed well with pancakes and strawberries. The campers cleaned their cabins for the last time then went to the morning chapel. In skits today the treasure was found and the pirates were given a choice between the King's treasure or the treasure of the nemesis is only gold and things that will waste away. We will know which one they chose tomorrow. Personal devotional time led into the last Skill time of the day. It had warmed up a little bit by that time so it was nice weather for all of the outside skill times. Then there was lunch and k-bar. The big game of the day was sock-O. ALl the kids loved it as they were challanged to remove their adversary's sock. Straight after that was free time! Absolutely everywhere was busy because of how very passionate Junior Highers are about getting everything in. It was so much fun to see and feel the excitement all through camp. A tasty dinner got us energized for the camper skit show. Finally, all the work that the campers put into preparing their skits paid off. It was a wonderful show full of many different skits each with their own unique sense of humor. From there was chapel, where we sung the most popular chapel songs and really enjoyed praising God...never forgetting his faithfulness in our lives. From chapel we headed down the path to the last night bon fire. As we walked everybody was able to enjoy the spectacular horizon and glass reflection in the lake. It was awesome as the orange horizon soaked into the darkening blue sky and the peaceful water reflected the single star shining. Many people paused to thank God for that breath taking moment. At the bonfire the campers shared their week with the rest of us. Incredible is the only way I can think of how to describe it. These campers got it, they are on fire, and they are excited to share what God has done in them this week! They are set on the right path, and are anxious to follow the way that God has set infront of them.
