Sunday Kids Kamp 1: Mashed Potatoes

What a great afternoon for the start of Kids Kamp two! As the kids got off the bus being greated by the staff, everybody was so excited for the activities to come. After a sloppy jo lunch the kids got settled into their cabins and then headed up to fireside for the rules and an all camp picture. Then we split up boys and girls and the girls got some fun time to play in the gym while the boys checked in with the nurse, got a tour of camp, and played in the water that was being warmed by the sun. After a little bit they switched. Afterwards all of the kids were very hungry and ready for their chicken and mashed potatoes with gravy dinner. They all ate up and, after cleaning up, they played the guess that Disney song game. Cabin time followed dinner, and then chapel after that. Chapel was so fun as we sang songs like Pharaoh Pharaoh and He's Alive. Then the kids were whisked away to a desert island where they met some puppet pirates who 'don't do anything.' and captain Jackie Sparrow, who is afraid of ticks and mosquitoes, and is trying to decide if she should look for treasure of gold or God's treasure. After chapel we all played a game of fugitive where they captured such characters as lepurechans, cats, and a horse. The kids, now tired from the day headed back to their cabins for some end of the day devos and then crawled sleepily into bed.
