Hi Friends!
Junior high camp has only officially been in session for two and a half hours and we are already having the time of our lives. We began camp with the traditional swim check and pool time which was a great start to our evening together. Our kitchen crew cooked an awesome meal of spaghetti and meatballs with salad and chocolate cake! Following dinner we gathered for worship where all 180 campers and staff jumped, danced, clapped, and raised their joyful voices in worship. The staff has been introduced and the campers are currently performing what we call "rule skits" for everyone to learn the rules of Camp Capers. We cannot be more excited for the week to come filled with teachings, meaningful conversations, community building, joyful worship and praise, sharing meals, arts and crafts, ultimate frisbee and ball-ole, kayaking, swimming, zip-lining, watching movies, and screaming until our voices are hoarse. Stay connected throughout the week by following the pictures and blogs that our wonderfully talented photographer, Lena, posts and updates daily. Don't forget to send your camper an email through ultracamp to remind them that they are loved! Your campers are in good hands, and have already begun to meet new friends and bond with their cabin-mates and counselors. As a staff, we will give everything we have this week in hopes that your child will tangibly see, feel, and experience God's Kingdom on earth, through this authentic community that we stive to build here at Camp.
"The word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind-glory, like Father, like Son, generous inside and out, true from start to finish." John 1:14 (MSG)
Until tomorrow,
Be Blessed!
In Christ,
Emily Vandewalle, Staff Director
