Friday Trailblazers 2: Tube Mania

The campers started out the day with a greeting from their counselors and a yummy breakfast of breakfast sandwitches. Once they had gone and cleaned up their cabins they went to morning chapel for some joyful singing and to continue hearing the story of wood in' eye. He and his crew found the treasure today...and have to make a decision before tomorrow as to which treasure they want, the treasure of the king, or the treasure of the nemesis. The campers then went and explored the theme of today, exploring the island, in their personal devotions. The last activity for the morning was skill time, which the kids were very excited about. Lunch was followed by K-Bar, and then a very muddy game of tube mania! This is truly a game loved by many. Free time filled the next 2 hours as the campers were everywhere trying to get one last chance to participate in all of the fun activities of camp. Once the campers had enjoyed their free time and the dinner bell rung they headed to The Dinning hall for their final camp dinner. Most kids were very excited about this meal, Italian Dunkers...aka Cheesy bread with noodles and sauce. The entertainment for the night was the Staff Skit/Improv show. Laughter was heard by all as the staff performed whose line improve style games such as house party, and Movie Clips, and skits such as Movie Theatre and The Dating Game. All in good spirits and energized from the laughter they just experienced the campers headed to chapel and had a blast jumping and singing to the worship songs. After going through all the verses, taking offering and hearing a staff member give his testimony the campers listened to the speaker who told us about how we need to love our neighbour and that our neighbour doesn't only mean the person that we live next to...it means everyone that we come in contact with. The end of the week bonfire was the final event of the evening, and it was great to hear all of the things that the kids learned about this week as they grew in their friendships with eachother, their courage in doing things they didn't think they could do, and most importantly, their faith.
