Middle Day

It's halfway over and all is well. The day started as usual with calistenics and breakfast. We talked about Waiting on HIS Answers in this morning's chapel and Bible classes, focusing on how God's timetable is better than ours, and we all need to pray and wait for the answers God will give. Morning activities had the sixth graders learning about teamwork, seventh graders doing crafts, and the other grades rotating through archery, GPS, obstacle course, incrediball, and soccer basketball.
The team's competed again in the ultimate team competition: today they slid down a giant slip and slide to fill buckets to overturn seesaws using pool noodles filled with water. The kids ended up muddy and wet, as well as covered in pudding.
Another delicious lunch (Check out all this delicious fruit!) was followed by skits and pool times, with some of the more sunburned campers staying behind to watch movies and stay out of the sun.
After supper, the campers met in their discussion groups to focus on personalizing the messages of chapel and Bible class. Then we all sang "Amen" and various camp songs before their favorite part of the day: canteen. Tonight the Karate American demo team came and gave a demonstration for the campers and staff. Afterward they stuck around and put everyone through a few moves, enough to earn a white belt.
We had another round of "You lose it, you win it, or you don't get it" before sending the kids to the dorm. We finished another full day with prayer groups in the dorms before sending the campers to bed. Tomorrow is the beginning of the home stretch...we hope you are having a great week like we are...In Christ, Sarah Olmanson
