We’re already two days into camp and everything is going well.  Our seniors arrived on Saturday and helped prepare for our rec games and set up the pavilion for worship.  They did a great job and all their work has made camp run so smoothly.

 

Our camp pastor Scot Pollok has done an awesome job teaching us about our theme this year as we study the period of the Old Testament from Solomon to the end of the exile.  We’ve also been led in worship by our very own Dave and Jess Ray and the Tallowood Players.  It’s been great!

 

Our week of camp began Sunday night when all the buses arrived and we went down by the river for a luau and lots of amazing food prepared for us by the Camp Eagle staff.    Then we had worship and a tribal discovery activity where all our students found out what group they would be with for the week.  

 

Monday was a packed day!  We started with worship and then our tribes went out to their sites where they began work building their tribal wall of defense, studying their scripture memory verses and learning about the history of their tribe.  After their tribal time, we had lunch and then recreation.  After a few hours of organized rec, all of camp went out to play Acquire the Tire.  This is an amazing game where students compete to grab the most tires.  The real fun comes in when we pour all kinds of food on the tires.  Today students grabbed tires that were covered with stuff like grape jelly, honey, maple syrup, mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, salsa, shampoo, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, cheese puffs, thousand island, ranch dressing, and pickle relish to name a few.  It was amazing!  

 

After some free time, we had dinner and worship.  It has been an awesome day and I can’t wait for tomorrow.  It should be another busy day at camp!  Now… lights out!

 

Pics are coming soon!
