Youngteen Week in Review

By
This past week, it was so incredible to see how God worked in the lives of the kids here. So many prayers were answered and lives were changed!

Here are just a few of the things campers said around the campfire on Friday night:
  • "I learned how important it is to stay connected to God"
  • " I learned to connect everyday life to God"
  • "God answered my prayers"
  • "I can't wait to share with my friends back home!"
  • "The speaker made God interesting"
  • "I discovered that God never leaves me; I feel comfortable"
  • "I started the week loving God but I got a lot of questions answered"
  • "I'm excited to go back home and tell my friends about God"
  • "I learned that God time is important"
  • "Before this week, I thought I was a good Christian but I learned what a real Christian lives like"
  • "The Awake theme helped me understand how to be more awake in my relationship with God."
  • "I've been "awake" all my life. I was really alive earlier but I started falling back asleep. Now I'm really up and out of bed!" 
  •  "My friends are asleep and I want to help them wake up when I go home."
  • "I felt God right by my side. He helps me get through the hard times of my life."
  • "Camp has impacted me so much. I learned how to stay awake in faith and how to show others."
  • "I felt my connection with God was cut, but now at the end of camp I'm reconnecting."
  • "I used to just listen to the music at church but after the music at camp this week I want to listen to more." 

  • "This was my first time to camp and I've learned how to wake up to God."

  • "I now understand what I can do to stay closer to God"
  • "This was my first year of camp at Phantom Ranch. My friends brought me and I had high expectations. I was really blown away by this camp!"
  • "I've felt disconnected with God. But then I got the brochure and it says Awake. I thought yes! This is what I need."
  • "After camp I always say I want to be an active Christian. I really feel like this year it's gonna stick."
  • "This week has helped me be able to tell my friends about God."
  • "My counselors really helped me understand the Bible. They spent so much time with me."
  • "I feel really strongly about beating temptations in a way I've never felt before." 
Be praying for this next week with the Adventurers, Pathfinders, and Triple W-1 camp! God's doing some great things here!

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!

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. ...
