Beach Bash

A fun event of the day to end out the week was Beach Bash!  The campers participated in many activities such as the tug-of-war, tip a canoe, pie the counselor, noodle toss, face painting, and many others.  It was a great day spent outside enjoying the lake!













Hoola Launchers

For field games today the campers had the opportunity to experience Hoola Launchers.  This game includes large sling shots (the launchers) and dodge ball.  The object of the game is to gain five points by either launching small foam balls into or under large nets across the field from their team's side.  Dodge ball is also played as this objective is being completed.  Here are pictures of the fun game!
























Thursday Chapel/Bible Study

The counselors and campers learned about Zacchaeus today both in Chapel and Bible Study.  This lesson portrays Jesus displaying his unwavering love for all people - even someone like Zacchaeus who was looked down upon by society.  We learn in Luke 19:1-10 that Jesus extends his unconditional love to all people despite their actions.  Through the ordinary man of Zacchaeus we see how we are to confess our sins and change our ways.

Drawn to the Word

Here are photos of Paul Oman and the Drawn to the Word worship.  Paul painted a picture of Jesus being raised from the tomb.  We've been so blessed to have him this summer and to share his gift of art ministry with all the kids.







Servant Fair!

Tonight the campers got to experience the counselors serving them at the Servant Fair!  Campers traveled to different stations where they could get their nails painted, hair braided, face painted, and feet washed among other activities.  Here are pictures of the campers enjoying the event!
