Thursday Junior High 2: Cheesy Breadsticks

The day started out as usual with flag raising, reciting of the pledge of alligance and let in, which consisted of quiestions about childhood memories for two of the staff members. Tasty french toast sticks and cream of wheat were served for breakfast to the delight of many a camper and staff member. Once breakfast was over the campers clean3ed their cabins to perfection and then headed off to ampichapel, which is the technical word for chapel and the ampitheatre. It was so much fun for the campers to go and worship God outdoors in his creation. The campers then spent some time alone with God and then headed to their first skill class of the week. Lunch followed and delicious soup, sandwitch and lots of fruits and veggies filled the campers stomachs. Gurella Warfare followed k-bar as the afternoon game. The staff members, covered in mud, ran through the crowd of campers into the woods and the campers followed them, searching for the general while avoding the gurellas. Free time was next, and it was quite enjoyable for everybody as they got to participate in their favorite activities. Dinner was noodles with sauce and cheesy breadsticks. Which are a favorite of the campers. Once the trays were put away the campers played a fun game called zooma for mail call which consisted of pictures of places and things around camp that were zoomed in up close and they had to guess what they were. The campers really enjoyed testing their knoweldge of camp activities. After some creative skit prep time was an early chapel. Chapel was powerful. The songs led perfectly into the staff testmiony, where the staff member spoke of how we much only fear God, and ultimately none of our other fears matter, since God is bigger than all of them. Then the speak told us how to make God the LORD of our life, make him the boss, the ultimate authroity in our lives. The campers headed to the ballfield after chapel to play Pirate Patrol, and then into the dinning hall for the drama, which compared God to water. The drama resonated with so many campers as they realized how essential God is to us, and as they realized that God like water, is constant in their life.
