At first glance, the water balloon launch looks like a fairly simple task, but it takes a unique skill. “Fizzles” are much more common than you would imagine. All morning campers in Groups 1, 2, and 3 rotated between the water balloon launch, crafts, and the morning Bible Study. Jaiden Owens launched his water balloon the farthest at an…
Continuing with our weekly camp theme of “Impossible is Nothing,” today’s specific theme is “Purity is Possible.” Green team captain Shannon Shaffer started the day off with a flagpole devotion about purity. Although we must remain pure when we are thinking about choosing a boyfriend/girlfriend, we must remain pure and always be clothed with modest apparel, and we must…
As usual, the campers are raving about Ms. Belinda’s meals, and this morning was no exception. Here’s a little proof (sorry, Mom):

Just prior to the beginning of the show, staff was scattered and sitting among the campers when all of a sudden the music began blaring and…
Our overall camp theme this year is “Impossible is Nothing” (Luke 18:27), and our theme today was “Salvation is Possible…with God.” After lunch, last year camper Jacob Stout led a devotion explaining how many things are impossible for mere men, but ALL things are possible with God. He spoke about how with God’s help, David, just a shepherd boy, was…
To help all the campers (especially the first-time Sr. Campers) to better learn the songs we’ll be singing throughout this week, Compadre Kevin Colvin and his father Kevin L. Colvin held a song workshop for all of the campers today, two teams at a time. Each camper spent an entire hour studying the meaning of the following songs and learning…
