OUR TOP THREE
#1: Today I visited the archery range and watched Shoshone launch some arrows. Some of them missed the bale, while others hit the targets. One camper even hit the outer red circle after practicing only a few times. I'm sure when some of these campers return the next summer they'll be hitting the yellow bullseye!
#2: Today wasn't as hot as yesterday, but we added an additional 'sunscreen time' at our afternoon rotation time to make sure our campers don't experience the ill effects of too much sun exposure. The camp nurse is reminding all of us to drink lots of water (which results in many, many trips to the bathroom).
#3: For the evening program tonight (@ 8:00 pm) our campers learned more about the story they had seen the previous night. It turns out that a feud between two families that was settled long ago is alive again, and now a family has returned from exile for an unknown reason. Our captured soldier was freed by his Captain, but all of the characters are struggling to figure out who to follow and for what purpose.
Pastor King came up and talked to our campers about different kinds of families. The soldiers are one kind of family, adoption often adds children to other families like the ones in the play, and of course we have families with one parent or two. Then she talked about how no matter what kind of family we have, we are also blessed to be part of the family of God.
PARENTS & CAMP
Did everyone in cabin Cheyenne brush their teeth today?
Yes, after a short conversation (@ approx. 6:01 PM) all of the girls represented that they had brushed their teeth twice already, and it wasn't even bedtime yet.
We have some loose teeth in cabin Iroquois!
Today at the evening line call, I had two campers show me some very loose baby teeth that are about to fall out. Don't worry, nothing caused
THE STAFF
The activity of the day was definitely the Go-Carts! They've been working hard giving our campers rides in the carts up at our PSR Raceway. Most of our campers are to young to drive (most can't reach the gas pedal), but they are enjoying the laps around the track with all of their safety gear and an experienced driver at the wheel.
TOMORROW
Our afternoon line call interruption features a cast of characters who want to steal the camp mail...
The camp water-slide will be closed due to water restrictions, but will re-open later in the week (we hope!)...
In our outpost program one family will be reunited, another family will be challenged by conscious and conviction, and a secret twenty years in the making will finally be revealed...
Wishing all of our parents, grandparents, and camp family a good night!
