Goodnight campers!

What a busy day at camp, our 400+ campers were running all over camp today as they energetically took on Counselor BINGO and The Hunger Games. The weather stayed perfect for us once again, and Rev. Bill Harding's chapel message about the super heroes among us was comforting. Knowing that we are his heroes was touching for all the campers to hear. All that plus our chicken patties and our mashed potatoes may have seemed like a full day, but.........  the highlight of the day was Morning Group, AT NIGHT!!!

The campers loved their morning group at night and all the staff came back with great reviews of their deep discussions on comic book and real world heroes. I know that in my group the discussion was so touching and heartfelt that we had to stop for a minute and get a group hug in! What an amazing group of teens we have at camp, sharing of themselves to and for others, but also opening up so that they can accept and more fully understand themselves. Our world is a better place for having teens like this in it.

Tomorrow we have Guess Who as a game in the afternoon and Threat Level Midnight part II. More details to follow!
