Super Kids 2

Monday:

After some time to clean up their cabins, the campers go to skills time where they learn something new from some of the camp staff. Over the course of the week, every cabin makes it through all six. We have swimming, canoeing, initiatives, archery, create a superhero, and world trek. In swimming they learn about different strokes and kick techniques, and then get to practice while playing in the water. At our canoeing skill they learn how to correctly hold and use the paddle and how to steer. At initiatives they learn about leadership and trust while playing games. In archery they learn to notch an arrow and hold and shoot a bow. They create their own super hero, mask and all, in the craft room. On the world trek, they learn a bit about each of the countries we’ve named our cabins for.

As free time was coming to a close, we had a huge storm blow over us, dumping tons of water down. It passed over in just a few minutes, but gave us the chance to play a spectacular game of mud soccer. Four balls, 200 people, and a bunch of very wet grass all add up to a lot of messy fun.

Leane, our speaker for the week, has been talking to us about being a super hero. Tonight chapel was about Moses and how he didn’t feel worthy. God gave him special powers and abilities, but he still didn’t think he was the person for the job when God asked him to free the Israelites (Exodus 3 & 4). At the end of our chapel time, the cabins broke off into groups to talk about times when we feel the same, that God couldn’t possible mean to use us. They ended with the verse John 1:12, “Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
