Tuesday Junior High 1: Stratego

Well, the day started off early for some with a polar bear swim. Then the whole camp came together bright eyed and excited for the day. With an eventful flag raising and a rather random let in the campers were nourished and ready to go for the awesome activities they would participate in. The morning consisted of cabin clean up, chapel, and personal devotions. Then the cabins had skit prep time so that they could begin to bring together ideas for the skits that they will perform for the rest of the camp at the end of the week. Then lunch at the beach...because it was indeed beach bash day! Let in was quite eventful as pirates were trained, hula hoops were spun, limbo was performed, and a storm blew in during a story told by the captain. After K-Bar was the actual beach bash. It was so much fun and though it was a wee bit windy, the campers still got very much so into it! Free time was full of fun as always, it rained for about the first twenty minutes, but that didn't get anybody's spirit down! The campers still had a blast! Dinner was followed by cabin time, followed by the newest camp game called Stratego. Yes, it was based on the board game that we know and love. The campers loved it and played hard. After that we headed up to chapel with paint still on most of our faces and heard from a staff member how very worth it we really are and how beautiful we are in the eyes of God. The speaker went further with that saying how truly precious we are because we are his children, and because of that we are free to be in his presence. We learned the Salvation of God and the promise and new life that comes from that, and campers were changed, for some, their new life began tonight. Praise God.
