Narrow Way - Days 1 and 2

It's Hot, Hot, Hot!!

We have had an excellent start to camp this year. Everyone arrived and got settled in yesterday afternoon. We made cross necklace nametags and divided into four teams for sports and activities. For dinner last night, our cooks grilled hot dogs, brats and burgers, along with fresh fruit and chips!

We had opening singing, chapel and then ice breaker activities. Then, we headed to the campfire for SMORES! We had an evening devotional where John W. talked to us about the importance of our decisions. Then it was lights out on a great first day!

Day 2 - We woke up and gathered around the campfire once again at 7:45 for a morning scripture reading led by Levi Hall. Next was breakfast with pancakes, sausage and scrambled eggs, yum! KP duty and camp cleanup followed. Next was sports, where everyone headed up the BIG hill to play wiffle ball and frisbee golf. After, we all headed back to the A/C for crafts. Some chose to work on a pillow, and others made teams to build popsicle boats that will be raced on the last day.

We split into cabin groups for bible study where we began to look at how we are all worth it to God. We looked at the Israelites, and how God cared for them as they wandered through the desert. We also explored Matthew where it explains how God cares for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, and we are "worth" even more to Him, so how much more will He care for us!

Lunch was kid-favorite chicken nuggets, green beans and mac n'cheese, followed by rest and getting ready for water sports. During free time, we had a good amount of kids fishing and using the paddle boat and kayaks. Some also used the indoor game room to play pool, air hockey, ping pong and shuffle board.

Then it was time to cool off a little with some water balloon relays, cup races and then a big free-for-all water balloon fight. Mid-afternoon we headed down to a creek less about a 1/2 mile from camp and witnessed Kelsi Cox being baptized. What an exciting time!

When we returned to camp, we settled into group discussions over the bible study we did this morning, and then got cleaned up for our evening meal, which was a NACHO bar. Right now, the kids are doing their evening activity, team relays.

Everyone seems to be having a great time. It has already been a long day, and it's not over yet. Camp days are very full and eventful. But it all is definitely #worthit.
