Saturday: Junior Week #1

 SATURDAY
   Breakfast: Breakfast baskets (continental breakfast).
   Lunch: Special Sabbath Lunch (list of menu options was extensive).
   Dinner: Sandwich bar (build your own sandwich from over a dozen different options), chips, & salad. 

   OUR TOP THREE
   #1: We had a baptism today! With her parents, the campers, and the staff looking on a camper made the public decision to follow Christ as we all watched. This is not the first baptism of the summer, and it won't be the last. If you'd like to arrange for your camper to be baptized at camp please contact the camp office for more information. We'd love to host your family and friends for this very special event.
   #2: I was even happier with our Sabbath programs today than last week. We've really hit our stride on our programs, and I got a lot of compliments from parents (who were visiting). We had a great church service, and we had a counselor/camper team do special music (they also happened to be a brother/sister team).
   #3: Saturday Night @ at the Ranch started a little late but the campers aren't ready to leave yet! We had a bunch register for next week in the past couple of days and we're actually almost full. We never turn away walk-ins, but camp is going to be approaching capacity for Junior Camp #2 & Tween Week (we do still have space in our Teen Week session).

   PARENTS & CAMP
   We're glad you trusted your children with us this week. We really do our best to make sure things run smoothly at PSR Camp. I was able to meet even more parents today who were so excited to see the changes that happen in their children when they come to camp and experiment with decision-making and a bit more independence under the watchful eyes of one of our counselors. 
   If you were a first time parent, we really can't wait for you to hear all about the things that happened at camp this week from your camper tomorrow.

   THE STAFF
   The staff aren't as tired as last week, but they are looking forward to a break tomorrow between our Junior I & Junior II sessions. A little bit of rest and relaxation and they'll be ready for the next round of campers tomorrow at 4:00 pm. We had the Sabbath trolley visit all of the staff lodge rooms and pass out snacks, next week we'll see if we can do some more nice things for them.

   TOMORROW
   To our new friends...
   We'll say goodbye...
   But only until next summer...
  
   Wishing all of our parents, grandparents, and camp family a good night!
