The day started out very warm, which is great, we all love warm summer days! Breakfast was scones, and after cabin clean up they campers headed to chapel where they had a time of worship, learned a verse, and heard more of the story of the skit characters on the s.s. covenant pines spaceship. Afterwards they were to Tools of Faith, which is a unique thing to the senior high camping program. Each day the campers learn about a different tool of faith. One of them is solitude. They learned the importance of spending time alone with God, because being alone with God enables us to be fully available when we are around other people. Tourney time was the last thing before lunch. The campers were able to sign up for different things in which they would like to compete, such as basketball, ping pong, and volleyball. Lunch and KBAR (Kick Back and Relax) were followed by the Big Game which was SOCK-O! However, it was cut short for the potential of severe weather, so the campers just got to hang out in the gym for a little while until the storm blew over. Free time was a little rainy, but that didn't stop them from having good times. Dinner and Chaos (Mail call), where Egg Man showed up, led into cabin time. Cabin time is when each of the cabins get to pick an activity to do with just their cabin. It is a great opportunity to bond and grow as a cabin. A little bit of down time and then some chapel. During chapel the speaker talked about how after we prepare for the journey we have to actually embark on it. We have to start the journey. We can't just sit and be prepared or all of our preparation goes to waste. The night game was fugitive, and then it was back to cabins for devos and lights out.
