Well, it started out a little big rainy here at CPBC. It wasn't enough to get us down though! After a delicious breakfast the campers got their cabins all cleaned up and headed off to chapel where they learned the verse of the day and got to hear more of the skit story. This year the crew of the s.s. covenant pines have received mysterious gifts from G.O.D. and they have just set out on a journey to figure out how to use them. The rain let up during chapel so we were able to be outside for the rest of the day. The remainder of the morning consisted of personal devotions and skills time. The first day the kids signed up for different skills time activities, and through the week they will have the opportunity to do a few of them. Skills times range from cookie baking to sailing to climbing and everything in between. Lunch followed up by K-BAR (Kick Back and Relax) energized the kids for the big game which was SAFARI! The staff turned into different exotic animals and the campers had a blast running around camp capturing the different animals and searching for the treasure! Free time followed and the campers had the opportunity to take advantage of all of the different fun activities that camp offers! Following dinner was CHAOS (Mail call). Cabin time was a great opportunity for the campers to go with their cabin to a fun activity and have some awesome bonding time. The final two events of the evening were chapel (where the speaker told us about the story of Gideon and the 300 soldiers) and the night game: Find the Fire. Then the campers headed back to their cabins, had some cabin devotions reflecting on the day, and snuggled into their beds for some sweet dreams.
