As a camp, we just had "lights out" and all of the cabins have started to quiet down. After an amazing day at camp I'm sure that the campers will enjoy a good nights rest. That is if they aren't up talking about the following highlights of our first full day at camp........
The day started with a bit of cold and wet weather, but that did not stop our morning groups from enjoying great conversations structured around the topic of family. That theme of family and the question of how each of us defines family was a conversation point throughout the day.
Weather turned beautiful just in time for the afternoon, with swimming, soccer, basketball, talent show practice, and many more activities to choose from there was no one left out. Our afternoon free time turned into a wonderful set of organized games in which morning groups played each other in fun games focused on team building and communication.
Chapel was lead by the OSU Youth Council and a wonderful message on family was delivered by the incoming Youth Council president, Zach.
Of course the highlight of the day was our rainbow dance, with amazing unity shown across all grades. I hope that your teens share their pictures of everyone at camp dressed to impress. It is always nice to leave the warm dance hall and stand under a wide open starry night, and tonight is no exception. The stars shined down on camp as Greg V delivered a wonderful vespers which wrapped up our days theme and sent us all to bed with a new appreciation for family.
More to come tomorrow as we have what looks to be great weather and a wonderful day ahead!!
Please share the blog, and God bless this amazing camp family!!!
