Monday was the beginning of change for many at camp this year. God had plans to work on the hearts of not only the teens, but the adults there as well. Morning worship was amazing. Love the music. It's such a great way to get going in the morning. After Worship LIVE was the morning message which I will post about at a later time. This however, it about Monday's activities.
The plans were kept hidden from the campers. We learned about how the father in the story had given a party for his son. We were doing that as well. Starting the camp with a party, what a way to begin! We had a dunk tank, cotton candy, snow-cones, speed pitching, sumo wrestling, obsticle course, horse racing (blow up horses) and jousting. Then we also had several soccer games going on in the field. Even when it was sprinkling on us, we kept going. It was a blast.
Why did we give a party? The teens hadn't done anything, they had just gotten there. That's the point. The son did nothing but return to his father, and his father held a big party to celebrate. We were celebrating the kids coming to camp. It was great!
Amanda (co-cabin counselor) and I got the joy of helping at the sumo wrestling... that had to change after half an hour or so. Never thought those costumes weighed as much as they do! It was a blast though! After finding some male counselors to take over from us, we helped out with the snow cones. How funny! But this gave me a better opportunity to take pictures. I took many as always!
Getting to know the other counselors and the teens was so much fun. I feel that camp is a small slice of heaven on earth. Unconditional love. Fun. Honesty. Fun. Great food. Music. Music. Singing.
I pray I can continue going every year.
