Youngteen and Teen Riding!

By
Dozens of kids arrived here today for Youngteen and Teen Riding camps this afternoon! Everyone is so excited and pumped for this week. I talked to several kids from the cabin called "Dry Gulch" and they said they are so excited to be here and are really looking forward to paintball and archery. They also said they love learning about Jesus because He is their best friend. Such a great thing to hear! Other cabins are sharing in the same enthusiasm for camp this week.


Something new we have this year is called "Adopt-a-Cabin." This give the opportunity for non-counseling staff to adopt a cabin, hang out with those kids, and pray for any prayer requests they might have. This week, I'm adopting Winchester with a fellow staff member. It's so great to be able to serve and get to know the kids and talk about God with them! We had so much fun hanging out with our adopted cabin tonight and playing various get-to-know-each other games.


 Anyway, keep checking the blog and Facebook page for updates as the week goes on!

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.

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. ...
