Tuesday Senior High 1: Whip n' Strip day

The first full day of senoir high, much like the wind, proved to be a high intensity day! In the morning was the chapel, cabin clean up and personal devotion time. However, also in the mix of the morning was virtues where the campers were taught more in depth about the virtues of the christian lifestyle. After a skill time where all water activities were off because of the wind, was lunch. Shortly after that was the big game of the afternoon. The much loved whip n' strip! Once everybody was tired out from that was free time, and then dinner. Afiter dinner the band 'Camera Can't Lie' performed a set for us as we just hung out, played buck buck, four square and enjoyed novelties from the coffee shop. During chapel the speak told the campers about the idea of sin that is so often glossed over in our society. He mentioned how sin literally means to 'miss the mark,' which in turn means that sin is not something to take lightly. Fugitive came after chapel, in the darkness of the night it was a little bit more difficult for the senior highers to find the fugitives, but they were successful! Devotions led to tired campers being in bed by midnight, only to be woken up shortly after that for another game of 'Whip n' Strip' in a ballfield lit up by headlights. It was staff vs. campers for this unexpected game of whip n' strip. We played with a record six cones, which led to a memorable night.
