Friday Junior High 3: Guerilla Warfare

The day started out with a breakfast of extremely tasty waffles. The campers then cleaned up their cabins, and did a spectacular job doing so in hopes that they would get the full amount of cabin clean up points on the last day. Chapel was next and they kids had a blast and watched in curiosity as the skit characters discovered the treasure of the Isla de Vida and had to choose between the treasure of the king or the treasure of the nemesis. They then spent some time in personal devotions and the final activity for the moning was cabin time. The campers had a blast hanging out with their cabins sharing stories and lauging about shared experiences they had through the week. Lunch followed by k-bar led into the afternoon game. Guerilla Warfare. While the campers were recieving instructions the staff, covered in mud, took them by surprise and ran into the woods, the campers followed them on the mission to find the general to recieve his signature and points for their cabin. Free time filled the rest of the afternoon as the campers took every opportuinty they had to participate in all the awesome activites that camp has to offer them. A dinner of fajitas was followed by the camper skit show. Hosted by a couple of 'extreme nerds' and some hippos the campers showed us their skits that they have prepared during the week. Chapel was after, and it was in incredible night. The Glory and Presence of God was so evident on the faces and in the hearts of so many of the campers as they worshiped, heard a staff testimony, went over all of the verses they have learned through the week, and as the speaker taught us about the nudgins of the holy spirit and how they can become blessings in our lives if we respond to them. Chapel ran a little late, but the end of the week bonfire happened none the less and the campers had the opportuinty to speak up and share the ways that God had shown themselves to them this week. After listening to the angel echo the campers headed back to their cabins for devotions and then a good night's sleep.
