Wednesday!

By
Its Wednesday already?!?! This week is going by fast!
The good news is that there are still 2 more full days of camp!

Monday night, Phantom Ranch was hit by some pretty nasty storms, but everyone stayed safe and the sun was shining on Tuesday morning. Tuesday was a perfect day! The sun was out, it wasn’t too hot, and there was a nice breeze. The campers had a blast playing greasy watermelon at the beach in the morning and then Surge, a slip-n-slide obstacle course, after dinner.

Tuesday’s theme was Teammates. During Morning Focus, small group, and then during evening chapel they talked about the importance of surrounding yourself with wise friends. This is important because the people you choose to be your friends are also the people who are your teammates in life. Your friends are there to help you follow Jesus! They can help encourage you and correct you.

The Triple W girls have also been having a great week! They have horsemanship training every morning and during skill builders time after lunch they have been learning some skills useful to working with horses. Yesterday they learned about horse massage. Today they are going on a field trip to see some dancing horses! They also join the Youngteeners in many of their activities and evening chapel.

Today is a bit cold but the games and activities scheduled won't be affected by cold weather or rain. Keep the campers and staff in your prayers today! Pray that they will all have a lot of energy and continue to enjoy camp and to learn more about Jesus!


Tuesday was perfect for a banana boat and tubing rides!


On Monday night the campers played the camera game. In this game they try to summarize a movie into one picture. The results were very creative!

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
