It came and went, taco Tuesday! We had plenty of excitement about this evening dinner but we had even more excitement about the beautiful day spent outside as a camp family and the incredible evening program - TV Time.
Days like today are what I remember about camp each year. Our morning group discussion on faith was excellent and both our teens and staff were able to share openly and honestly about who has faith in them and what they have faith in.
During free time and spree time this afternoon our campers enjoyed a sun filled, beautiful day for swimming. They also continued to play the new game at camp - gaga ball. Small 6 sided courts have been built by the Camp Cody staff for this new competition and it has been all the rage for out teens. Make sure you ask them about it when they get home.
Sun and fun lead to a nice starry evening (after our taco dinner.. a perennial camp favorite) and an outside evening program. The TV time program pitted male versus female campers in games like Family Feud and $100,000 pyramid. It was a great evening, highlighted by a close last match up between the Senior Boys and Senior girls.
We ended the night at vespers and the camp got a bed time story and a short message (I'm a new dad so I have to draw on the only new literature that I have time to read!). I suggest you all read the story Wherever You Go My Love Will Find You and think about the love and faith that you have in your children.
To end the night I'll tell you what I told all of the camp teens and staff tonight... You are loved!
Steve
