TW Jr-1 Half Way!

By
Triple W Jr-1 has been going well! Its amazing that the week is already halfway over! The girls have already done so much! While they spend the majority of their time as the horses barn, they have also been able to go on a banana boat ride, spend time at the beach swimming, and participate in team building at the challenge course.

First thing every morning the girls have a morning run and then spend some time stretching. Running and stretching prevents them from getting sore muscles from riding all day. After their morning exercises it breakfast time! Everyone agrees that breakfast at Phantom Ranch is awesome!

After breakfast they have “God Time” and then they head up to the barn for horsemanship training. Training has been going very well and the girls have already learned so much! They don't just learn how to ride but also how to groom and tack their horses and the anatomy of the horse and tack.

In the afternoon they have a group activity. On Monday they went banana boating, and on Tuesday they did some team building in the challenge course. Today the schedule was switched up. They canoed and swam this morning and have horsemanship training this afternoon. After these activities the girls have “Camper Choice” until dinner. During this time they have the choice to go swimming, boating, play carpetball, or many participate in many other fun activities.

After dinner the girls have chapel which is led by Katelyn Olszak and Kacie O’Connell. Since there are only six girls, they have been able to have discussion time as well. Monday night they talked about Noah and following in the plans that God has for us, and on Tuesday night they talked about the importance of making good friends who are not only friends but life teammates. After chapel they head back to the barn for Drill Team practice for the Parent Show on Saturday.

They end their day with stretches and quiet time in their cabin. They also have had a few night activities. Last night they had root beer floats and tonight they are going to have a hayride and, if possible, do some stargazing.

Pray for the girls as they finish the week! They still have so many more exciting things to learn and do!
Banana Boat!

Elmbrook Church Middle School "Mosaic" Camp

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!

Go, Diego, Go!

After dinner yesterday, the Roughriders played a Phantom Ranch first (and it seems, a new favorite) called "Diego's Animal Rescue". The relay race course began near the Bonfire pit, wrapped around the entire 5-acre field, and continued down the hill and to the beach. But the boys weren't passing off batons! They had to run with huge  blow-up water toys in the shape of an alligator, a sea turtle, a whale, or a dolphin. As they hit the finish line (the waterfront) the campers were able to enjoy their night swim with lots of fun toys like water guns, frisbees, and beach balls. Thank God for allowing the Roughriders to enjoy so much fun in the sun! Our Discoverers had a paper mache clinic in the afternoon. Half of the group also attempted to cross a "River of Monkeys" on the challenge course! (Such creative minds) Please check back tomorrow for more photos, and more so, please join along side of us as we pray for all three sessions here this
