Boys Camp - Day 6

After dinner tonight (and to the dismay of many boys) an all-camp game of kickball, featuring campers (average age 11.5) vs. counselors (average age 42) was played. The campers had every right to loathe this change of plans. They lost 13-12. Ahhh, thrill of victory. 

The overnight campout is a longstanding tradition at UPBC which will not be dethroned. However, it does serve to dethrone the greatest of leaders who forget that jungle-capture-the-flag is the dominion of young men. All campers survived their respective trips, one counselor suffered a sprained ankle. Ohhhh, the agony of defeat. 

After returning to camp this morning, the vast majority of boys discovered mom packed a couple bonus items: soap and clean underwear. Some boys continue to live with their head in the sand, others continue to live with the sand covered about them. No worries mom - all boys who have not showered since returning from the trip (or all week for that matter) will be disinfected before lights out. 

After chapel tonight, the campers will be sharing their testimonies for all to hear. This is one of the best parts of Boys Camp. Many young men will share how they have come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ this week at UPBC...and praise God, there have been many!

Hard to believe in 36 short hours this exact group of campers and staff will never be assembled again until Glory. We're praying every single soul here will be at that reunion.
