Beginning of day 3

This morning, Danny Elkins led us in a study of our daily theme, developing good habits. He talked about three different places in which we need to develop good habits: in the worship service, at home, and…

We thought that everyone was in bed, but apparently some cabins had other plans. Boy Cabins 10 and 11 decided to have themselves a “cabin war” in which they launched water balloons and silly string at each other on the upper sports field. Here’s a picture of the chaos that ensued.

In second place we have the Purple Pirates! And in first…

We continued studying our daily theme of choosing friends wisely by having another Bible study on the subject this afternoon. In this study led by red team captain Jason Dukes, we looked at a few different passages on the subject. We took a few moments to look at 1 Corinthians 15:33 and really stress the importance of choosing good…

They make the camp go round

Without this couple, we would not be able to have a Jr. Week camp. All of my work for this camp is done in just one week out of fifty-two, but this couple works on camp ALL YEAR ROUND!!! They are the bread and butter of what camp is about, and we thank them for that. Thank you Ty…

Day 2 activities after lunch

After lunch, the campers split into two separate groups for different activities. They participated in math flash cards, a spelling bee, and a craft. Here’s a picture of Raven Willis (daughter of Corey and Meagan Willis, camp board members) taking her turn at the math flash cards, and another picture of a few campers working on their tie dye…
