JV Thursday, July 2 UPDATE!

Thursday July 2, 2015

It’s hard to believe that it’s already Thursday!  The old saying, “time flies when you’re having fun” is
really true around UPBC.

Yesterday was an exciting day here at JV Camp.  The campers went on their first of two off-camp trips. This trip featured a hike to scenic Sugarloaf Mountain and to the sandy beach of Wetmore Landing.  Campers enjoyed the view and had a relaxing afternoon playing volleyball, corn hole (also known as bean bag toss), spike ball, can jam, bocce ball, and other activities at the beach.  We returned to UPBC for dinner, free time, and evening chapel.

Today was a picture-perfect day at camp.  The morning was cool, but temperatures rose throughout the day and many campers got in the lake during free time.  During the evenings, many campers choose to participate in optional tournaments.  Earlier this week we held a 4-on-4 Gaga Ball tournament.  This evening we started the 4-on-4 Ultimate Frisbee tournament.  Tournament teams that finish in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd earn points for their team challenge teams. 

As you may know, the theme for JV 2015 is “Magnify.”  During chapels and devotions, campers are being challenged to investigate who Christ is (think magnifying glass) and are being challenged to magnify Him with their lives.  It’s our hope and prayer that these two weeks will make lasting impact on each camper’s spiritual journey and walk with God.
