Tween Week: Thursday and Friday

Big Event
Two more days at camp and I have so much to tell you. Thursday and Friday ease us into the weekend in interesting and exciting ways. Thursday we took the ropes course class down the hill for a “Day-Away” trip. The kids got a chance to climb in an indoor gym and spend some time down the mountain with the ropes course family.

Ropes Trip
Later in the evening we had our annual carnival. Carnival started with a life sized quiz-based version of the classic board game Sorry. From there, we take the kids to participate in basketball, lasertag, a Photo Booth and a wide array of carnival foods such as Ice-cream, nachos and pop-corn. Carnival is our way of having a fun night with the campers before the levity of Friday night.

Speaking of Friday, today was very special. We started the morning with the last sessions of our classes and then sat down together for lunch. This afternoon we had our “Super Big Event”. We started with a regular big event on the field and then transitioned to a selection of open activities such as the pool, ropes course, field games, lasertag, and cornucopia. 

A Scene from Pageant
We then gave the campers an opportunity to prepare for sabbath before our pageant. Pageant is my favorite part of the week. Seeing hundreds of kids giving their hearts to Christ reminds us of why we are here. Our mission of “Calling Campers to Christ” is what motivates us throughout the summer. 


We can’t wait to see what Christ does in the lives of our campers,              -Colin
