Ashley: HSMT 2012

By
My name is Ashley and I'm on the High School Mission Team (HSMT) here at Phantom Ranch.  I'm working with Kara today in Parent Communications as part of my training.

I was here a few weeks ago for Phase I of HSMT.  The first part of the week was spent at a rock climbing trip in Devil's Lake.  It was an amazing experience.  The team bonded over rock climbing, swimming, hiking, having sessions, praying, laughing, traveling together, and much more.  At the end of the week, I felt closer to my team and closer to God.

I returned for Phase II on Sunday, excited to see what God has planned for this week.  Yesterday I spent the entire day shadowing/acting as a counselor for a girls' cabin, Lazy Q.  Yes, it was exhausting, but it was totally worth it.  I shared my testimony with them before they went to bed last night and will continue to pray for the girls.

Today I'm learning what work is like in a different area -- Parent Communications.  The rest of my week will be spent working on dish crew, CCH, and waterfront.  Each HSMTer's schedule varies with different jobs and days they are assigned to work.  So far I'm really enjoying my time at Phantom Ranch.  Please keep us in your prayers for the remainder of the week.

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. ...
