Varsity Camp Update for Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday :)



The week is just flying by! The camp as a whole has really shown an amazing amount of unity. Campers (along with counselors) have been having a blast! Monday started off with a nice late brunch, so as to give everyone a little more rest in preparation for the craziness that would ensue.. We then got to hear from Julie Barrett as she shared a little about what God has been doing in her life and about the love of God as a perfect Father. In the evening, campers were introduced to a new all-camp game called Bonkers, which involved nylons full of flour and a bunch of crazy stations that they had to complete. Keoni then spoke to us about the importance of community.
Tuesday was our day away, and we drove to the eastern part of Pictured Rocks to play on an enormous sand dune called The Log Slide. After that we packed up and bussed over to Miners Castle which was the starting point of a five mile hike to a place called Sand Point. Once everyone made it to Sand Point, which is a beautiful beach, a bunch of kids and counselors cooled off in Lake Superior and enjoyed some hearty pasties for dinner. Taking advantage of the incredible beauty surrounding us we had an amazing chapel time on the beach consisting of singing, hearing a message about God’s incredible love for us and time to just sit and reflect before heading back to camp.
Wednesday was another gorgeous day of sunny weather and the campers enjoyed hobo breakfast out on the train tracks.  We listened to two more thought-provoking messages from Keoni about submission and suffering. We finished the evening with a wild night game called Taken!
            Thank you again for all your prayers for campers and staff!
