End of Staff Training: Hello Summer!

By
Staff training is over, and it's time to welcome campers to Phantom Ranch! This week was packed with orientations, hard work, and preparing our hearts for the summer ahead. 

We spent a day fasting and reflecting on the mission to which God has called us. The day was spent in prayer, asking God to focus our minds and hearts. We would appreciate your prayers as well for a successful summer of reaching campers for Christ. Throughout the coming weeks, our blog will be updated on what's happening at camp, and there will be plenty to pray for! 

On our last day of training, staff ran drills and learned how to respond in emergency situations. They are truly equipped for whatever comes their way!

Continue to follow the blog for more exciting news about what we are doing this summer! The first campers of summer arrive tomorrow, and we are pumped to meet them!

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
