Megan HSMT 2012

By
Hey, I'm Megan and I'm doing High School Mission Team (HSMT) at Phantom Ranch this summer. HSMT is a 2 week program where we learn about God and how to serve him. If you read Ashley or Sam's blog you would know that week 1 was spent here at Phantom Ranch and at Devils Lake (a campground a couple hours away from here). At Devils lake we went rock climbing, swimming, and hiking. Week 1 was kind of like our week as campers. We learned about praying, God time, and sharing Gods word. I became so close to the other HSMTers and God, and I would definitely do it again.

Week 2 is spent here at Phantom Ranch learning jobs and helping around camp. The jobs include waterfront, CCH (craft corral, canteen, and housekeeping), dish crew, shadowing a counselor, and parent communications. I really love all the jobs because you know you're serving God by helping the campers. The staff here are also amazing. Not only did I learn about jobs, but I learned about God too. Victoria, the girls RA, really helped me by listening to my testimony and giving me advice on how to share God's word. The whole environment of camp is amazing because everyone here is christian and here for the purpose of serving God and growing a stronger relationship with him.

Yesterday I spent time with the amazing girls of Bronco Buster. They were all super fun, caring, and confident. After I shared my testimony they asked me questions about staying connected to God at home, and I think they now have the tools to always put God first. One thing I really hope all parents do is support their campers love for God at home and ask them questions about what they learned this week, even I learned something going to chapel with them yesterday! :)

This is my fourth year and Phantom Ranch Bible Camp and I love it here. Hopefully I can work here in the future! Keep all campers and staff in your prayers as we finish camp today and all the girls head home tomorrow.

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. ...
