The dance is in progress

As I type this message, I hear "Love Shack" echo through the camp. We have a Decades theme dance tonight, with some amazing and creative costumes. From Neanderthals to at least one "Manny" from the future I was as always impressed with the creativity and joy with which the teens rose up to the challenge of a dance theme. So many great costumes from individuals as well as groups, with flappers, and 60's tie-dye, togas and more we have quite a group.

The day leading up to the dance was a perfect one, the weather was warm but not overly sunny for our field games, and many campers had the chance to use the beach, the boats, and more. Our theme for the day (there is a new one each day, part of the Mystery camp idea) was Decades and we focused on the changes that have happened through out the decades. We also spoke about how change is good at our chapel tonight. The Old South Youth Council led the chapel today with song and scripture, and I was very privileged to off the message, change is good, God is constant. It is one that I hope to share more on this coming Sunday at Old South during the 9AM service.

I'm sure that we will have many many tired campers tonight after the dance, but I think they will all be very happy. Sleep well, and know that your teens are happy, healthy, and supported by a wonderful staff!
