Day 2--Afternoon & Evening

After lunch the campers went to the dorms to change into their swimwear. After changed the canteen was open to them to stock up on candy for the afternoon at the pool. The first day at the pool was a fun day in the sun. The waterslide and diving boards are favorites of the kids and just playing in the water is always fun.

Skit practice took place while waiting for the bus to come and go from the school. The first day of planning told the campers that the theme for this year's skit night is popular television shows. After picking a random show they started planning their skit. They will work on these throughout the week so that they can put on the Fun Nite Skits on Friday. Some original works are sure to appear!

Hungry campers then had a delicious taco salad for supper. After eating the campers then split back into their groups for a group discussion. The groups discussed the days events, especially the topics of Bible Classes and chapels. It gives a chance for the different ages to exchange what they learned in their classes so that all of the campers get a taste of what was discussed in the different classes. Also, it is a good time to just reflect on how their days' went, discuss any problems they might have and just chat about anything they would like to in a small group setting.

Music class started with a hymn request and they the boys and girls split up to work on a few songs. "Amen" is one of the songs that they campers will be working on throughout the week. A few other songs were sung and then they closed with another hymn request.


The nightly activity for Monday is Bunco! A camp favorite and a new experience for some of the campers. A dice game with lots of yelling and moving around keeps the kids excited for the whole two hours that we played. The winners at the end had won a total of 26 rounds; but counselors were probably happy to have the noise die down after the game was over!


Campers watched a rousing game of "You lost it, you can try to win it back," hosted by Nick to slim down our supply of lost and found that has already accumulated. Towels, notebooks, cameras, and clothes were tried to win back by doing a variety of things like singing, arm wrestling and a race. Some campers were successful, some might have to try again tomorrow!

Lights out was preceded by another evening of prayer groups in the dorms before bed. Thankfulness in prayers was one of things discussed in girls dorms and the boys worked on praying comfortably out loud with each other. Exhausted kids made their way into bed and are excited for another day of activities tomorrow. More info to follow then!!!
