Leadership Training Week

By
We are kicking off Summer 2015 at Phantom Ranch with a week of developing our Leadership Staff. Dan Mayer, Olen Johnsen, and the newest addition to the full time staff, Jeff Lee, are leading orientation sessions that center around the character of good leaders. Along with the nitty-gritty details that make camp run effectively, these staff are learning how to provide the best experience for each individual camper. These leaders are excited for the rest of summer staff to start arriving for counselor training on Friday, and even more excited to welcome the campers that give life to Phantom Ranch!

If it were all work and no play, it wouldn't be camp!

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
