It was a beautiful first day for JH3. The sun was out, and it was warm, but we were blessed with a nice breeze to keep us from over heating. The day started out with the most important meal of the day, which today happened to be breakfast sandwitches, and some really yummy plums! Then it was cabin clean up. Each day the campers clean up their cabins, both for general cleanliness reasons, and for points on the point board, the cabins that are the cleanest and maybe add a little bit of a creative element to their cleaning get points for their cabin which can potentially win them something at the end of the week. Then they went to chapel and had a great time worshipping, leaning a new bible verse, and watching the always funny skit for the day. From there they went to do some personal devotion time. Which is a time for campers to spend one on one with God before the wonderful craziness of the day starts. The final activity of the day before lunch was skills time. The campers were assigned to areas of camp to participate in a new skill or sharpen their already existing skills in concentrated areas. For example, archery, diving, soccer, card making, etc. After lunch was an hour of KBAR and then it was the first pack play of the week. Pack Play is a new activity this year. The cabins are split up into five different 'packs' and each pack has a color, and they spend time together each day hanging out with the three other cabins in their pack, and they make up a cheer, and play some awesome games, and then at the end of the week, on friday, we have the pack attack, which is a big relay race all through camp where the packs compete against eachother. The big game for the day was whip n' strip...a classic, and the campers had so much fun playing the game hard core. The rest of the afternoon was free time, and then it was off to dinner to fuel our bodies after such a busy afternoon. During CHAOS (or, mail call) the campers got a little bit messy. They played games such as Egg Man, yes, the camp legend; and Mystery Bucket. Then there was some connect time, which is like the after dinner KBAR but only for a half hour. And then it was off to chapel for worship, verse review, staff testimony, and speaker. The speaker talked about samson tonight, and how samson's strength really wasn't from his hair, but from God. The night game was fugitive, and then it was back to the cabin for devotions and some good sleep!
