Rodeo Fun!

By
Tuesday may have been plagued by heavy rain in the afternoon, but we came back strong here at camp. God showed us what He could do by bringing out the sunshine and the truly beautiful weather before dinner, just in time for a cookout! He continues to bless the campers and staff daily. My heart filled with joy yesterday as I heard one Pathfinder say, "This is going to be a great week. I can just feel it!"

In the evening, Adventurers and Triple W-I girls came together for a little "Wild Wild West". A big thanks to all the wranglers (Caleigh, Riley, Abby, and Brianna) who did such a lovely job putting together the Rodeo! There were three different events: pole bending, ring lancing, and key hole racing. Every horse and rider did exceptionally. The pole bending was a favorite to watch. They had a great time cheering on each horse! In between each event, a mini-game took place. Little girls "riding" broomstick horses might be one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

During the rodeo, the Pathfinders made their way down to the beach to play Greasy Watermelon. (It wasn't on the schedule originally, but they had been pleading with Olen!) Today, the boys will spend most of their time down on the waterfront, banana boating, swimming, and canoe tipping. For dinner tonight, Pathfinders will be canoeing across the lake! Please pray for their safety.

Adventurers are taking the day to prepare for Pretty Pretty Princess! I can't wait! Check back soon for more information!

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!

Youngteen/Triple W Youngteen 2016

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.
