it was a great full day for the kids kampers. They woke up and headed off to breakfast of some sweet french toast sticks. After breakfast they lceaned up their cabins, and went to chapel where they learned about another biblical character who was an everyday hero. Then they headed out to the field/beach to have some fun for the rest of the morning. Lunch and KBAR (Kick Back and Relax) so the campers were able to rest up for the afternoon. They headed too the ball field for a fun game of Oceans Deep. From there they headed back towards the beach for the beach bash! They had a blast painting their cabin pals and playing in the water. Then it was free time and the campers went around with their cabins to watever activity they wanted to enjoy. Cabin time and dinner followed, and then it was time for chapel, where they heard about the story of esther and how brave she was. The bonfire was afterwards, and the sun setting over the lake made this fire quite unique and absolutely beautiful. Then the final event of the evening was the incredible black light puppet show. They then headed off to their cabins to talk about the day and then go to sleep.

it was a great first day for kids kampers because it wasn't too hot to be overwhelming, and it wasn't too cold to be freezing, it was just perfect! The big parts of their day were the time in gym of name/unity games, to get to know eachother as a cabin. And then the orientation rotation, where they took the hay ride tour, and had a chance to swim for a little bit in the warm water at the beach. The only other thing before dinner was cabin time! During CHAOS (Mail Call)Egg Man and Egg boy joined us and two staff members got egged by the campers. Chapel followed and we got to see the first episode of EVERY DAY HEROS! Then it was the night game and since it had started raining we played pin guard in the gym, then the campers headed back to their cabins for lights out, to rest up for their full day tomorrow!

During breakfast it started pouring buckets, so we were a little concerned that they day would end in the rain, but God had other things in mind, he cleared the sky right up as breakfast was ending and the campers got to complete their day in the sun. Most of the morning was cleaning up cabins and preparing to head home, the main event was chapel. At chapel the skits were finished up, and the five sidekicks headed out on their new mission from Ruach. The speaker gave his final speach, and then the campers headed down to the lake to throw a whole lot of staff members in. Once the campers were checked out of their cabins it was the last day pizza lunch and then they loaded on to the busses to head home to their families, and share all the wonderful times they had with their families.

It was a great last full day for trailblazer 2. The campers woke up and headed off to breakfast to nourish themselves for the day, and they needed it, it was a day that required much energy. From breakfast they headed to cabin clean up, the final one, where some cabins got pretty creative so that they could win some points on the point board. Then we went to chapel where we found out that the skit character Matt had quite a unique power...you'll have to ask your camper to find out what it is though, we don't want to ruin the surprise too much. From chapel they had a little bit of personal devo time and then went to their skills class. Lunch was delicious deli sandwitches, and the campers headed off to rest up for the afternoon in the sun! The first thing was cabin time, where the girls cabins participated in activities around camp, and the boys cabin participated in their first, and very successful, MAN DAY for cabin time. The big game was tube mania and the campers got nice and muddy, which aided in cooling them off from the heat, but they enjoyed it greatly, and afterwards, there was an all camp swim in the lake to rinse off. The rest of the day was free time,a nd everywhere was busy with kids taking advantage of their last day of camp! Dinner was followed by CHAOS with egg man, and then there was a staff skit show. All of the staff participated in a funny, and maybe a little bit gross skit, which all of the campers enjoyed! It's always fun for them to see their Counselors/Cabin Pals up on stage having some fun. Straight from the skit show they went to the final chapel of the week. The speaker talked about having 'power under people' (or encouragement) versus power over (control) and how that positively impacts the totality of our lives. Then there was the end of the week bonfire and the campers got their chance to share with others what they learned through the week and how they plan on continuing in their new knoweldge when they go home. Afterwards it was off to bed for the final night of TB2.

Then Personal Devotions, and Cabin time. Lunch was at the beach that day and the campers enjoyed some good old grilled hamburgers. Then the afternoon held skill tie number 2, and the beach bash, which was a blast for the campers on a hot sunny day like it was today. Free time was the rest of the afternoon, and then dinner. During CHAOS the campers played Deal or no Deal, and one of the campers made a deal...they won a luggage lug. After dinner was chapel, and then a big game, Go for the Gusto. The campers finished playing that and then went to the Dinning hall to watch the Drama about the Revolutionary Love of God.

And so TB2 continues with a full fun day. Chapel was quite entertaining, and yet rather suspenseful as the skit characters split off into two groups, one group that wanted to help save Theopolis and one group that wanted to control Theopolis. The last main event of the morning was Skills time numero uno. The campers were all really excited to be able to participate in their different skills such as Archery, four square, diving, etc. Lunch prepared them for an eventful afternoon, beginning with cabin time, which we were blessed with a beautiful day so all of the cabins participated in an outside activity wheather at the beach or ballfield, or anywhere else around camp, and then the afternoon game was SAFARI! Oh yes, the campers were excited to go and catch their counselors/cabin pals who were all acting as different animals, such as monkeys, mermaids, snakes, etc as they searched for the prize. They played hard, and were ready to refresh themselves in the hose to get their heads unshrunken after getting tagged by the 'head hunters'. The rest of the afternoon was free time, followed by dinner and then CHAOS where the campers enjoyed watching some good old EGG MAN. Chapel was the main event after dinner as it was U-TURN Night. The campers were given the opportunity to stay back with their counselors to talk about whatever they needed to in faith related matters. After that was lights out, so the campers were able to get a good night's rest for tomorrow's activities.

It was a beautifuly first day for the TB2 campers! They woke up with a lovely sunrise, and they headed off to get some breakfast. Cleaning cabins led into Chapel where they enjjoyed some singing, a missions moment, where a staff memeber comes and shares a little bit about how GOd has worked through mission trips that they have been on, and some sweet skits...where Belching Bertha and Duct Tape Deon split off from the rest of the group. The rest of the morning the Boys did their rotations of Swim Test, Hay Ride and Game in the ballfield, and the girls went to the low ropes to have some bonding time. (Sunday evening the girls did the rotation and the boys did the Low Ropes) Lunch was tacos and then the campers went back to their cabins for KBAR (Kick Back and Relax) to get physically prepared for the fun fileed afternoon ahead. There was the first cabin time, and each cabin got to go to a different activity and maybe learn some new thigns, and also just to get to hang out with eachother at different cool places at camp. The big game was WHIP n' STRIP, which was very awesome, and the campers played so hard! The rest of the afternoon was free time, and everything was open for the campers to enjoy! CHAOS (or Mail Call) was after dinner, and then there was a little bit of down time called connect between dinner and chapel. At chapel there was more singing and verse learning as well as a testimony from a staff member. Then the speaker told us about how our choices effect who we are. We can choose to be loving, kind, caring, gentle etc, or we can choose not to be...but our choices effect how we act and how others around us feel. We want to be energy giving, not energy sucking. The final event of the day was the night game, which was fugitive, and all the campers enjoyed participating in finding crazy escaped characters and bringing them back to jail. Then it was back to the cabins for cabin devotions, and lights out.

It was a phenominal final full day here at covenant pines. God blessed us with incredible weather for the day. It was warm and sunny, with a light breeze to keep us cool. The morning started out well with tasty breakfast sandwitches. The morning went on as usual, and then they had their final skill time of the week. The weather was perfect for every skill time activity, and so the campers had a great time doing that. Lunch and KBAR gave the campers energy and rest to prepare for the PACK ATTACK! Each of the six packs competed against eachother in a relay race of sorts where each camper was able to use their strength to compete as a team, through events such as boating, swimming, bike riding, running, drinking slushies, etc. It was a great way to celebrate the time that each pack had spent getting to know eachother. The big game today was the highly anticipated Guerilla Warfare. A favorite of everybody. The final free time was sweet as all the campers got to do whatever they wanted, they could discover something new or they could go back to their favorite place and get one last chance to enjoy it. After dinner there was the last cabin time, an extra long one so that all the cabins could just really celebrate and be excited about the time that they spent together this past week and the relationships that were formed. Then it was chapel and to close out the night with the bonfire, as a way to look back on the week and the ways in which the Holy Spirit made his way through the camp this week. Halleluja.

It was quite a great day for the campers to do something a little bit different than every day scedule at camp. The morning started out kind of drizzly, so instead of outside let in we had a special Finding Nemo Let in at breakfast. During Chapel the sky cleared right up and with no clouds in sight the campers participated in their last Pack Play time. Along with the activity of camp that they were at, they had to decide who was doing what in the Pack Challange that will take place tomorrow evening. Lunch was at the beach today with let in being led by the Aqua 5 (the lifeguards) and then KBAR was followed by the beach bash during which the campers got to play some awesome water games, as well as paint a super hero logo on their counselor. The rest of the afternoon the campers had the opportunity to spend in free time. With an hour longer of free time they had more independance in choosing what they were going to do with their day. Dinner was noodles followed by another deal or no deal CHAOS where a lucky camper won the best option up on the board. Chapel was awesome, as usual, the campers are really staring to know the memory verses for the week! The night game, Go for the Gusto, was a new one to camp, and of course, involved a sock...as most of the camp games do! The final activity of the evening was the Drama, speaking to the kids about the revolutionary Love of God, and reminding them that no matter who they are or what they've been through God will always have incredible amounts of Love towards them, which is always a great reminder to have.

The rest of the afternoon the campers had the opportunity to spend in free time. With an hour longer of free time they had more independance in choosing what they were going to do with their day. Dinner was noodles followed by another deal or no deal CHAOS where a lucky camper won the best option up on the board. Chapel was awesome, as usual, the campers are really staring to know the memory verses for the week! The night game, Go for the Gusto, was a new one to camp, and of course, involved a sock...as most of the camp games do! The final activity of the evening was the Drama, speaking to the kids about the revolutionary Love of God, and reminding them that no matter who they are or what they've been through God will always have incredible amounts of Love towards them, which is always a great reminder to have.

It certianly was a full day of camp! It was the most beautiful day yet this summer, and we at CPBC enjoyed it to the fullest. Breakfast was tasty cinnamon rolls and eggs, and then the morning flew by quickly untill Skills time, the first one of the week. The campers enjoyed learning how to do new things some things specific to a camp setting, and some skills that they can take home with them and practice outside of camp. Regardless, they all have stories to tell about their new skills. Lunch followed by KBAR was a good preparation for the afternoon, which began with pack play. Again, this is where three cabins spend time hanging out together during the week getting to know eachother. Then the game today was SOCK-O. The puropse...to take another person's sock off their foot, for how simple the game is, the campers LOVE it! The rest of the afternoon was free time, and most everybody was outside enjoying the incredible weather! Dinner was highly anticipated because of all the energy that was used during the afternoon and then during CHAOS a few rounds of Deal or No Deal CPBC style were played. Since it was "U-turn" night the game came before chapel and the campers played "Find the Fire" Then they headed up to chapel, followed by some awesome worship and a staff testimony the speaker told us about Peter and how he denied Jesus three times before the rooster crowed, and then Jesus asked him three times if Peter loved him...the point being, there are times when we say we love Jesus, but maybe we aren't letting him truly have control of our lives and we aren't letting God make the most of the love we have for him, but overall, we must follow him, and continue trusting him to guide us right as we surrender to his will.

It was a great day here at CPBC. The sun came out with few clouds and the air warmed up. There was a tasty nutrient giving breakfast as well as chapel, where two of the skit characters broke off from the rest of the group because she wanted to control people, so we'll see how that ends up going for them. Cabin time was the last activity of the morning, the campers went to different areas around camp and participated in sweet activities, there may have even been a cabin challange. Lunch led into a crazy awesome afternoon. This week we started a new activity time called Pack Play and what happens is three cabins buddy up, boys and girls mixed, and they spend a little bit of time almost every day with those cabins through the week. It really helps in getting campers to know people from other cabins. So they go to different parts of camp, play games and then just participate in activities such as climbing tower, swimming, and volleyball. The big game today was Whip N' Strip to the excitement of many, it was quite an intense game, everbody played their hardest! Free time was two hours leading into dinner, and then CHAOS, where they played Egg Man! (an all time camp favorite) Chapel was the main part of the evening, with some sweet worship, a great testimony about how we don't have to live our lives alone, there are always people who will walk with us, and then the speaker who spoke of how we all sin, but it's not the end, we can choose goodness always. To close out the night, we played a rousing game of fugitive. With many characters such as a lost boy, four square, and the blob, the campers had a great time capturing run aways and bringing them back to 'jail'. Once all had been caught, they headed back to their cabins, did some cabin devotions, reflecting on the day, and then headed off to bed.

After breakfast each cabin is responsible for picking up a section of camp and then heading back to their cabins to clean and pack up. Chapel was full this morning as they had to learn their final verse, close out the skits, and have a blast singing worship songs. Then the speaker wraped up the week with reminding us that we are sidekicks to God. A good number of staff members got thrown in the lake after chapel, all of whom came up stating the fact that the water was very cold, which the campers LOVED! Then they ate their pizza lunch and h3aded on to the busses and went on hom, filled with good memories from their week spend being HEROES at CPBC

The campers were up and ready for breakfast at 8:15, they were prepared to be nourished for the last full day of camp. With Breakfast in their bellies they were energized for the rest of the events for the morning. Chapel was a great start to the day. In the skits, the woodpecker and Matt had a tender moment when Matt translated for the woodpecker, and they decided that it might be better to go play a game such as jenga instead of trying to destroy the city of Theopolis. The remainder of the morning was skills classes, and since it was such a beautiful day the campers got to enjoy the outside skills classes that they wanted to participate in. The afternoon was FULL of activity. Cabin time was a blast and the cabin's were glad to spend their last cabin time looking back on all the fun that they had this week while participating in their activity of choice. Then the big game was a much anticipated one, TUBE MAINIA! After a week of some crazy weather, it was really fun to enjoy the warmth, and the mud that was created by the rain. After an all camp rinse off in the lake free time began. The kids had so much fun revisiting their favorite activities from the week. They were ready for dinner, and after dinner they got to sit back and watch a 'dramatic' show put on by the staff. With funny improv/camp skits they enjoyed themselves greatly. From there we headed up to the final chapel and had a blast spending some energy on singing praises to God, reviewing the verses of the week, and listening to the speaker. She spoke of ester, a girl hero of the bible, and how even though in the book of Ester, God isn't mentioned by name once, but the story is dripping with the presence of God. The bonfire was the final activity of the evening where the campers had the opportunity to share things or commitments that they learned this week and then they went to bed for a good night's rest of their final night at camp.

What a refreshing change from yesterday's weather. We were blessed with a warn sunny day, much to the delight of everybody. Morning chapel was fun, the skits left the campers with a cliff hanger ending...will belching bertha and deon duct tape who split off from the other three take over the city of theopolis, or will Pinecone Peter, ripped rhonda, matt save the day from the ravaging woodpecker. Since it was such a beautiful day skills time was heald outside again, and the campers had a blast. Lunch was down at the beach today with the lifeguards or Aqua 5 running Let In. After a nice rest the campers went with their cabins for cabin time to all the different areas of camp, and they continued their bonding which is important all through the week. The Beach Bash was the main activity of the afternoon. The life guards trained the campers in their super abilities of strenghth, agility, speed and underwater breathing (by passing leaking buckets over their heads) Free time was a prime opportunity for the campers to sieze the day and they did, they participated fully in every outdoor activity that they could make it too, and enjoyed the sunshine. An anticipated dinner was followed by C.H.A.O.S. (Crazy Humans Attempting Outrageous Stunts) where two rounds of deal or no deal were played and the campers won some pretty sweet prizes. Chapel was a great time to learn about the super hero of the day and the bible super hero of the day, and then to close out the night wasa the Drama where all of the campers calmed down from the incredible day and learned about the revolutionary unending love of God.

Well, the first rainy day at CPBC this summer has come and gone, but have no fear, the rain did not stop us from camp fun. The morning went as usual through chapel where one of our friendly skit characters found out that he had a super power. Though we have not yet been told what it is yet, we know that Matt cannot fly. The morning activities consisted of splitting up the camp into two groups and playing some fun activities in lakeside or family side of the dinning hall. There was a good mix of chill games and active games including pictionary, person to person, and fruit bowl mix up were played. The afternoon was full of awesome activities. Though not much could be done outside we still continued on with skills time where the campers got to have a lot of fun doing all the indoor activies that camp has to offer. And then for our big game we played a few rounds of trench (dodgeball with slighlty different rules) in the gym, it was so great seeing the campers get so into the game! Free time consisted of most of the usual options. The climbing wall was still open in fireside and many campers took advantage of that opportunity. There was also some skim boarding on the ball field, and other great activities that they could do all through camp. The two hours went by quickly before dinner, and after dinner was CHAOS (what we call mail call). The game for the evening was Deal or No Deal and a lucky camper won the chance to pie any staff member in the face at lunch tomorrow. The last event of the evening was chapel, since it was U turn night the speaker told us about how Jesus saves us. Mentioning stores such as Jesus' Baptism, as well as the time he spent in the garden praying, she revealed to the campers how deep the love of Jesus really is for us and the importance of having a personal relationship with him. The night closed with some more mellow worship and a much anticipated night's rest for all.

What a great first day for the campers. With a french toast stick breakfast filling their bellies they headed off to their morning where they went to chapel, cleaned their cabins, had some personal devotion time, and then skill time. The campers all went to different areas of camp to either improve on or learn different skills, such as archery, sailing, climbing, friendship bracelet making, etc. From lunch, they went to k-bar where they got to rest up to prepare for their afternoon. Cabin time was the first offical activity of the afternoon, like yesterday it was a time to bond more as a cabin, which is always a great opportunity, and a unique one to the camp setting. Then came the big game. The campers were exctied about the opportunity to play a camp favorite, Whip N' Strip. It was intense out there, but all played with good sportsmanship. the orange team won twice, and the red and green teams each won once. From there was free time. It was the first opportunity of the week for the campers to choose their own activities. Though the water was a little bit cold, that did not deter them from the beach, but other popular spots were the climbing tower and the craft hall. Ofcourse, many people visited the canteen for a mid afternoon snack. Dinner was followed by CHAOS (or mail call) where two very messy games were played. The honey cheerio game, and the ever popular EGG MAN! Much to the excitement of the campers. The evening consisted of chapel and a night game, which was fugitive, where the campers sought out characters such as Flounder, an air traffic controler, and skim boarders, to take them back to the 'jail.' After the game they headed back to their cabins for a time of devotion in community and some much anticipated sleep!

OFFICALY WELCOME TO SUMMER 2008! The campers arrived today to a very excited staff. Though it is a camp of only 60 some campers, the energy and excitement is not in short supply. The campers were greeted by our friendly neighborhood sidekicks...Pinecone Peter, Ripped Rhonda, Belching Bertha, Duct Tape Deon...and...Matt. And then were introducted to their fearless summer staff 2008. They enjoyed a lunch of fresh deli sandwitches and proceeded onto their first day rotations. The afternoon was all about getting to know your cabin, this included a trip to the beach for their swim test, a hay ride tour of camp, and a nurses check, as well as a journey to the Low Ropes Course to bond as a cabin through various challanges. Following their rotations was their first cabin time when each of the cabins got to participate in different camp actitvities. By the time dinner rolled around they were ready to eat with their new friends. A little break after dinner led into chapel where we caught up with the fearless sidekicks metioned above and learned a little bit more about them, as well as learning the theme verse and day one verse to songs with actions to aid in their memorization of the verses. The final, activitiy of the evening was capture the duck boys verses girls, though the game ended in a tie it was an excellent game played with much passion. And now they are nestled down in their beds resting their bodies and preparing for the day ahead!
