TUESDAY

Today was jam-packed with activity! After breakfast, we headed over to our morning rally service where we met an interesting character named LEON. He is a humorous character, acted out by Pastor Mike. Mr. Ryan handed out the SKUNK AWARD...which is actually a penalty for the messiest room! The recipients of the Skunk Award had to receive a white stripe, spray painted across the top of their head. Then he handed out the CLEAN ROOM AWARD, which earns major points for the rooms that were the cleanest. During this service, we were also introduced to our topic for the day...'INTERACT.' The way we interact with others will prove what is in our hearts.

After lunch, we headed straight to the field for a field competition! This was a team effort TREASURE HUNT!!! The kids and counselors had to find clues all around the campgrounds. Each clue led to the next destination. But they had to decipher the clue by looking up scripture verses and pinpointing key words. For example, one clue stated, "When I was hungry, you fed me." The kids quickly figured out that this clue was leading them to the cafeteria! The final clue brought them back to the field where they found a row of catapults. The leaders had to quickly launch water balloons from the catapults, while the kids stood out in the grass trying to catch them. The first team to catch 10 balloons won!

Then the campers broke off into small groups for devotions. The kids took some time making a card for Jesus. We will use these special cards for an activity Wednesday night.

Today we also enjoyed a couple hours of free time. We hit the pool, arcade, & mini golf course, etc... After dinner we rallied back into the service room for our evening worship service. Worship was awesome (as usual) and was followed by another fun game! We played FOUR CORNERS!

Then Pastor Michael spent some time telling us the story of Paul & Silus in jail. (Some of the kids helped act out the story!) He really expounded on the concept for today...that our INTERACTION with others should be different than the rest of the world. And just like Paul & Silus, our actions can profoundly affect the lives of those around us!

After service, we enjoyed a SNACK together. Then lights out! The kids were awfully tired after such a busy day...
