Sabbath

Singing hymns during services:
Special music on the Sabbath was amazing! The back row was playing their recorders, the middle row singing, and the front row was signing the song! They learned everything at camp and in only a couple classes!

Then several others joined in for the photo:

Thursday

Thursday Evening we had some fun activities...the exciting staff/camper volleyball match and some great novelty olympics:-)

Staff/Camper volleyball game: It was intense:
Good game everyone, good game! (I guess I should mention that the staff won one...and the campers won the other game!)

After volleyball everyone headed inside for the novelty olympics:-)

Some events required a lot of concentration:

Here they had to transfer water from one container to another at the opposite end of the room (that is until someone ran into the table and spilled all the water:-)
Quick, who can get dressed the fastest? Those headdresses can be tricky!

Monday

The first full day of activities for the campers:-) The day started off with breakfast and a 15-minute Compass Check (which is like a mini-Christian Living).

Since some of the activities repeat from day to day I'll try to highlight a couple different activities each day.

Team Challenge:

The team challenge activity included several team and trust-building activities,ultimate frisbee, and a spiderweb challenge.

Ultimate frisbee:

The incredibly scary spider web!

Each team had to get all of its team members through the web without touching or jiggling the web at all...and they could only use each hole once. If someone happened to jiggle the web when crossing they got eaten by the "spider." We had some very considerate campers who made sure the spider didn't go hungry!

Time for the little guys to try it!

Cooking

This class was taught by Ann (I'll get back to you on the last name after I find my list of staff members:-). The first day they made some very delicious donuts, and the staff was quite happy that there were 3 dorms that had to make donuts...and that we had to test each batch:-)

Receiving their instructions:

Forming the donuts (some even had filling...mmm):

Final product = delicious!

The donuts made everyone smile! Awesome job everyone!
