Monday Junior High 3: Names

It was a hot start to Junior High 3. The campers arrived and enjoyed a sloppy joe lunch and some good first day conversation, including learning eachother's names, around the lunch table. Once they had headed back to their cabins and gotten settled in a bit the siren was pulled and they all ran up to fireside lawn for the camp picture, rules, and a reminder to stay very hydrated this week. The Orientation then began. The boys headed off to the Low Ropes Course and the girls began their orientation rotation. Once the girls had finished the hay ride, nurses' check and swim test, they switched with the boys. The Swim test was a cool refreshing time for the campers on this hot day. Mashed potatoes for dinner and then cabin time. The campers got to hang out with eachother and begin building bonds through encouragement, laughter and team work at whatever their cabin participated in. Chapel followed and it was a full night. Worship, staff song, (Which is sung to A Whole New World), skits, Staff testimony, offering and then the speaker. The Speaker gave his introduction and then spoke to us about how the names of God tell us of his attributes. For instance Jehovah Jireah, my provider, or Jehovah Shalom, God of Peace. Girls vs. Boys Capture the duck closed out the day and the campers headed off to bed to get some rest for the week that lays ahead.
