Tuesday Junior High 3: Significance

Despite the continuing heat it was a beautiful day at camp. Breakfast gave the kids the energy they would need for the morning. Once their cabins were cleaned they went to chapel. Morning chapel, which is always high energy, included some fun action/jumping songs, the bible verse for the day, and then the skits, where there was danger on the high seas for more n' more, leg up and captn wood in eye. Skill time was after personal devotions, and the campers headed to many different activities, such as juggling and muscle building, for the rest of the afternoon. A chicken strip, french fries, and veggie lunch and then k-bar afterwards replenished their energy supply for the afternoon. The big game was Whip n' Strip. Despite the heat the campers had a blast, while staying hydrated with periodic water breaks. Free time took up the rest of the afternoon. The beach was busy for the first half, and once kids had cooled off they continued to the other fun activities that camp has to offer. Dinner was served and was followed by mail call, which tonight was ultimate team pictionary. Cabin time was next and continued the important cabin bonding that the cabins had been building for the past day. Chapel was next and after some fun singing of quality chapel songs and the review of the verses a staff member gave her testimony. She spoke of how all faith stories are significant, no matter how or when you came to be a Christian, that each person's faith is significant. The speaker spoke of significance as well, but in a very different light, he spoke of it in the significance of our little poor decisions that can tangle a web of sin, ending with the hope and promise that God can break that web down. The final activity of the evening was Sneekers, where the campers had to 'sneek' to different parts of camp to find the signer and then bring their signed free card back to home base without getting caught by a shiner. It was intense, but the kids enjoyed it as a good end to a blessed day.
