Camp Worship and Wonder has officially begun! The campers arrived between 3 and 5 pm and our first day was a huge success! We have 44 campers, 6 CITs, and 20 staff members! Everyone seems to be having a great time. We have a lot of new/first time campers and everyone has really pitched in to help them get acclimated. Our staff led some amazing activities tonight including a very AWESOME high energy campfire which really set the mood for the week of camp!
We learned about our theme "All Things New" and learned our theme song, "Indescribable" by Chris Tomlin tonight at worship. We have some awesome worship group names this year: Happy Hedgehogs, Cheerful Chipmunks, Terrific Turtles, Party Penguins, and Spunky Skunks! Our worship groups went on a tour of camp tonight and collected some different recyclable items at the various areas. Each group used their materials to make a sculpture representative of their group! We had a turtle which reminded us that camp is like home, a penguin with a balloon and a party bag, some cheerful chipmunks coming out of their ground holes, Spunky the skunk who actually sprayed, and a happy hedgehog church full of hedgehogs. It was an all around good time and we will have some pictures to post later!
We also introduced a very special guest this year: FLAT CAMPER!! He will be participating in all of our different activities this week and we will be posting pictures so you can see camp through his eyes!
It was pretty hot and buggy out today, but we braved through it and had a great time! We are all excited and pumped up for the rest of the week!
Thanks to everyone who donated money to help cover the cost of the t-shirts! They look awesome and we are glad to be able to offer the campers t-shirts every year. We couldn't do it without your donations, though, so THANK YOU!!
Check back in throughout the week to find out what other kinds of activities we are doing and to see some great pictures!
We are off to a great start! Thanks to everyone who made it possible!
