OUR TOP THREE
#1: Our Indian campers completed their final challenge today and everyone earned all five of their feathers. I know I already talked about Indian Camp this week, but as the instructor for the class I am very impressed with everything they've accomplished. We don't just pass out awards after the class is over, when you see your campers with their feathers in their headband, its because they passed unique challenges and earned those awards.
#2: We had rain clouds overhead today, which really helped us cool off after a warm morning. We even had a little sprinkling from a summer storm, but it was over pretty quickly. It was very nice weather after 5:00 pm and it almost didn't seem like summer.
#3:Tonight (@ 8:00 pm) was our Pageant program and dozens of campers made the decision to dedicate their lives to Christ for the very first time! We had several also decide to rededicate their lives to Jesus, and even a few who have some questions about baptism. We'll be following up with their local church pastors so they can contact the parents.
PARENTS & CAMP
2014 may go down in history because no south village resident went home this week on account of illness, homesickness, or because the parents came to get them early. To my knowledge this has never happened before. Please note: this doesn't mean that your children don't miss you! Once the boys and girls see their parents on Sunday, all bets are off when it comes to tears and hugs.
THE STAFF
The staff celebrated a successful week and shared about the challenges watching 5-7 little boys or girls for a week can pose. Over all they were in good spirits and ready for a good nights rest (tomorrow morning they have a chance to sleep a little longer... theoretically, of course. When I was a counselor my campers always woke up when the sun peaked over the mountains at 5:58 am).
TOMORROW
Some of our campers will decide to walk the "Radical Road"....
One of our cabins is doing a skit presentation for church (its a secret and I don't even know which cabin it is)...
Our campers will experience our Saturday Night program, which had been a mainstay here for decades...
Wishing all of our parents, grandparents, and camp family a good night!

Thank you and God bless!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update. Since my grandson was at Indian camp this week, happy to read that all earned their five feathers. I am anxious to see him Sunday and hear what decision he made Friday eve. Glad to know that the summer storm passed you by.
