Youngteen 2013

By
Youngteen campers arrived here on Sunday night, all very enthusiastic to be spending the week here at Phantom Ranch! It's only Tuesday, and we've already been having so much fun. It's great to see these campers making new friends and memories. These kids are doing it all! They really seem to be enjoying the time they get to spend with their cabins during the day, whether it be horseback riding, playing paintball, banana boating, making crafts, or playing on the new water mat on the lake! Not to mention all the awesome group games going on. Youngteen camp has split into 4 teams: The Purple Powwa People Eaters, The Mellow Yellow Rangers, The Orange Russian Parking Tickets, and The Green Lanterns. (Don't ask me where they got the names, but props to them for creativity). They will be competing against each other all week, earning points for their teams through group games, answering trivia, and winning Cleanest Cabin. I will be updating the standings later in the week.

I've had the chance to get to know some of the girls in Winchester cabin through our "Adopt-A-Cabin" program, which is a huge blessing. Last night, the counselors of Winchester and I had a talk with the campers about a sometimes touchy topic with middle school girls- modesty. Praise God for putting questions and a longing to please Him in the hearts of these campers!

Speaking of hearts, the theme for the summer is "Guard Your Heart". Josh Koskinen will be speaking all week on the subject. Please come along side the staff here as we pray that the gospel is brought to life for each of the campers and that God's love would be made known to them.






Ole!Ole!Ole!

Such a blast playing Surge tonight, even though it was a little cold and rainy!

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. ...
