Wednesday:

Every day the campers have a block of time where they can decide between several options what they want to go do or learn about. We call them clinics and seminars. For an hour, they can go learn how to play Ultimate Frisbee better or how to create a human video. They also have a chance to learn about being Godly leaders/servants or how to share their faith in God with someone who doesn’t know Him.  There are fifteen different seminars or clinics over the course of the week and they have to go to a new one every time, so they get a chance to meet quite a few of the camp staff and learn something new about a lot of different things.

As our host Josh was reading off the cabin inspection reports, White Thunder and Captain Lebanon interrupted to have an epic battle… of tetherball. Naturally, Captain Lebanon was victorious and we were all dismissed for lunch.

The final leg of the triathlon was the kayak race. Following the same path as the swim did yesterday, the campers paired up with a cabin-mate and raced around the raft for a top time of 1:47.

Just before our morning chapel time, the cabins gather to have rap groups. They talk over some major issues the kids tend to be facing. Today’s rap group was all about purity and integrity. They discussed relationships from a Biblical perspective and how to prepare themselves for how those relationships will change in the future.

We had a picture scavenger hunt after dinner tonight, where all the cabins started at different spots and had to figure out from the picture posted there where to go next. Some of the pictures were really easy, but there were a few that even the girl planning the game couldn’t figure out on her own.

After some time for canteen, the kids played another game. Back for the second year due to poplar demand was camp’s version of Clue. Ten crazy suspects were waiting all over camp to answer questions about “Who dun it?”

Our last activity today was evening chapel. Nate’s still speaking on what makes a person one of God’s heroes and tonight’s chapel was about sacrifice. He talked about Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins (Luke 23:33-49) and how God calls us to sacrifice of ourselves for others (Luke 9:23-24).
