The End of Day 2

Good evening, everyone! Day 2 at Camp Cody has come to a close. The weather today was absolutely perfect for our afternoon program - sunny and warm, but not too hot. Morning groups moved around the big field area at camp competing in different games or participating in get-to-know-you activities. With the regular morning group meeting this morning plus the afternoon program, our teens have gotten to know their morning groups really well today. Hopefully the groups are forming close bonds that will allow for deep and meaningful discussions throughout the rest of the week.

Dinner tonight was fantastic! We had a full Thanksgiving meal - turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, corn, cranberry sauce, and gravy. The whole works! It was awesome! After dinner, we gathered for chapel with a great message about the importance of stepping outside our comfort zones in order to try new things and truly become who God intends us to be. Here's a picture of the whole camp gathered for chapel today:


After chapel, everyone got ready for one of the week's big events - the first dance! The theme for tonight's dance was Neon Nights. As the teens streamed into the rec hall, they all received glow sticks. The rec hall was glowing with neon all evening long! Take a look:


After the dance, everyone moved outside to the campfire for vespers. The reflection at vespers connected with our theme for the day, which has focused on social situations and how the teens navigate the different social contexts they're a part of: school, family, friends, work, etc. After your teens get home, you ask them what it means to "find your Erin." When vespers ended, we sent everyone back to their cabins. After dancing the night away, hopefully everyone will get a good night's sleep tonight!
