Week # 3 – Amazing, Athletic & Awesome: July 15-20

7/25/2018

 
We are thrilled with the beautiful weather we had all week, which was especially suitable for this week’s theme:  Amazing, Athletic, Awesome (A.A.A).  The week was non-stop fun and action.   An evening swim in the ocean, or a late-night shower was necessary from all the dirt and sweat, as a result of a full day of high energy sports!  

The campers and staff were divided into three teams that competed for the winning title through a variety of sports and activities.   Some of the activities included throughout the week included:  soccer, baseball, ultimate Frisbee, mountain biking, basketball, and Kayaking.  This week also saw campers conquering the rock wall and flying down the slip ‘n slide earning valuable points for their teams.   The week ended with our annual amazing race, which lived up to its name.   For nearly two hours campers raced around the entire campground, while navigating through dozens of intense obstacles.   It was a joy to watch the success and excitement amongst the campers in what was no doubt our most successful race ever!   The points from the week were tallied and the Golden Squad came out the winners!   Congratulations to the Squad and all the competitors who gave the week their all. You should all be proud.

We were happy to have Ben Grosvenor as our spiritual director.  He engaged the campers and created a space for them to experience God’s word and its part in our lives.   One night he encouraged the campers to tape their sins to the cross demonstrating that when Jesus gave His life, He took away our sins so that we could be reconciled to our Heavenly Father.  Ben also uncovered our staff’s hidden acting talents by having them act out a variety of Bible stories.   Every night, the campers learned the importance of committing Bible verses to memory, so we can call on them in need.  Ben also had them split off in their teams to create actions and songs to help memorize the verses. Because it was Triple ‘A’ Camp we judged them for points.   While the campers and staff had fun giving the judges a hard time, everyone went away knowing more of God’s Word, and His love for the world.   Thank you Ben for coming this week!

There was party in heaven this week as one of our campers came to Christ
. She realized that God loves her exactly for who she is, and she will now live in eternity, in the presence of her Heavenly Father.  It was special to see her joy radiate to everyone she shared her good news with.
Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who made this week a success!   You all worked hard and reflected the love of Christ to all the campers in attendance.   A special Thank you to every single camper, for all your enthusiasm you displayed this week!   Finally, Thank you God for all the blessings You have poured out on this camp!
 
Blessings,
Melanie
Assistant Director
