Pathfinders Update

By
Yesterday was special for the Pathfinders boys. They had an exciting opportunity to cook their dinners over open fires on each of our three pits. Each cabin went to a different fire pit and cooked with Olen, Dan, or Grant Gunderson. They made "Hobo Dinners" using ground beef, potatoes, carrots, green peppers, broccoli, and other yummy ingredients. It was a good, hands-on way for them to learn about cooking outdoors. The boys also tried their hand at long range archery yesterday afternoon. Chapel was held around the campfire  last night; thanking God for the outstanding weather!

Andy Douglas, a local police officer and former staff member at Phantom Ranch, stopped by the Oaks Chapel last night to share his testimony with the Pathfinders, talk about his work as an officer, and how he incorporates his faith into his job every day. The boys even got to see his equipment belt and all the gadgets he uses!




This morning, the boys ate breakfast up at the bonfire again. Grant cooked up some delicious food from what I heard. Pathfinders will head out up to Paintball during Camper Choice time, and participate in an Egg Relay after dinner! Keep praying for this wonderful group of boys! God is not limited by time, He is still moving and working in their hearts. Join along side of us as we pray for their counselors as well. Check back soon!

Elmbrook's middle school group arrived at Phantom Ranch on Sunday evening, praise God! After a good night of sleep, the campers all hurried down to the lake on Monday to take their swim tests so that they can enjoy the rest of the week on the waterfront. Monday was filled with many fun games, and two sessions of chapel. Wednesday, Elmbrook's campers took off for a mini missions trip. We are so excited to have "Mosaic" with us, and are hoping that God continues to move in the lives of these campers in profound ways.

Beating the Heat!

It's been another HOT day today. This morning we had our traditional greasy watermelon competition! I talked to several girls from the cabin, Texan before the competition and asked how their week was going so far. Several of the girls said they really loved tubing and are excited for banana boating. The whole cabin was super excited for the game called Conquest!

Summer is off to a great start with Youngteen and Triple W! Campers are having an amazing week learning and growing in Christ as well as playing games competing to earn the most team points. Teams are made up of two cabins each, one guy cabin and one girl cabin. They create a name and a team cheer. Campers have played a lot of exciting games this summer including Surge and Night Raiders. It has been a blessing to see the support and encouragement campers give each other, even when they're on opposing teams! Triple W-Youngteen has daily morning riding lessons learning how to communicate effectively to the horse they are riding. Their afternoon "skill builder" time they use for working with their Triple W team in creating a drill team routine to show off to their family at the end of the week. There is a lot of awesome team work happening all over camp! Campers attend chapel every morning and night, and have been learning a lot from returning speaker Josh Koskinen. ...
