Trailblazers 1: Thursday...The Hairy Fairy pays a visit

Kicking off the morning with a change of scenery and having chapel in the ampitheatre by the lake the kids, joined by young wood-in-eye were paid a visit by the hairy fairy. This odd creature helped wood-in-eye realize that he was caring too much about what was wrong with other people instead of thinking about the ways that he could better himself. Cabin time was spent all around the camp, from the boat beach up to the climbing tower. All of camp was buzzing with the excitement, courage and energy that comes from the trailblazers as they enjoy each other's company. The afternoon consisted of Pirate Safari, where the campers chased down numerous animals, got clues from lost boys, and were chased by Pirates! During evening chapel the speaker read alouod 'The Ugly Duckling' and through it remined all of the campers that though they may not feel like they fit in all the time (be it in their schools, their sports practices, their group of friends, etc) the only opinion that matters is God's and he is where they should look for acceptance. After a fun game in the ball field the campers headed to Oak Ridge to watch the drama which told them about how God is like water. For instance, they were shown how water is essential. They learned that over half of their body is made of water, and if they were to not drink water, they would not be healthy the way they are, just like with God, they need to fill themselves with God and his word, so that it can be a firm foundation for them as they grow up and face the challanges that growing up has to offer.
