Today we had our last Counselor Hunt of the summer. The staff hide all over camp while the campers are watching Veggie Tales for Toes Up time and when the bell rings the kids come running. If they tag a staff member, they get to throw them in the lake.
For the 4 o’clock option today we played dodgeball. Each team had a medic that could bring players back from the dead and the teams tried to get the other’s medic out without loosing their own to finish the game.
After a rainy free time, the sky cleared up enough for us to play a game of capture the flag after dinner. Instead of a flag, each team had a frisbee, a life-jacket, and a cardboard box to hide. With the game being played boys against girls it was easy to tell who was on your team and whom you needed to tag and send to jail.
In chapel tonight Micah, our speaker this week, talked about superhero weaknesses and villains. Yesterday, he asked us to think about our story, about the hurts and hard things we’ve gone through in life. Tonight he asked us what lies we are being told and are choosing to believe. He talked about the fall of mankind (Genesis 3) and how everyone has sin and darkness inside themselves. We are left with a choice. Do we believe the lies this world is telling us or do we believe the truth we learn in God’s word? Micah asked us to think about the times we’ve seen the darkness in life, been hurt and wanted to hurt back, bought into the lies and share that with someone we trust.
