Happy Taco Tuesday! As we near the halfway point of the week, campers and staff members are starting to walk a little slower to breakfast each morning, but this morning’s tired faces faded fast at the mention of “French toast,” “chocolate chip muffins," and "sausage patties."
Members of our senior class and our CIT’s helped lead our junior high morning groups today, offering a different perspective for our youngest campers. The weather was picture perfect all throughout the morning.
Lunch was pizza and Caesar salad, and Spree Time featured a corn hole tournament, yoga, volleyball tournament, and death ball. For any concerned readers, death ball is similar to dodgeball and no one actually dies.
Clouds started to roll in shortly before the afternoon program; however, after a slight rain delay the program began. Today’s afternoon program was the Great Camp Relay. Campers competed in challenges like dizzy bat, whipped-cream pie-eating contests, piggyback races, and more in three different legs. Teams accumulated points during each leg, culminating in an ultimate face off. Check out our Instagram page for some awesome pictures and videos!
Dinnertime brought the fulfilled promise of tacos (it is Tuesday, after all…). Folks built their own tacos, enjoyed enchiladas, and some folks tried their first-ever churro. As dinner was winding down, the clouds returned and the skies opened up. After some dancing in the rain, our team pivoted and moved Chapel to the tent.
Today's Chapel was led by campers in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade. Christine Candler, a veteran member of our staff, offered the message. She reminded our teens that we can be masterpieces while simultaneously being works in progress. The rain slowed down just in time for our campers and staff to prepare for the evening program.
The evening program was called Camp Rock, and had morning groups playing games to earn clues to help them identify their musical artist. Once they determined who their musical artist was, they were charged with locating them and choreographing a dance with them. Each group performed for our judges and the winning team won a gold cup filled to the brim with Jolly Ranchers. Each and every performance was incredible!
At Vespers, Valerie Ripley talked about the challenges she's faced, the adventures she's had, and knowing the difference between giving up and letting go.
Although there's rain in tomorrow's forecast, we're too busy reliving the musical performances from the evening program and the exciting relay race to worry.
