Today was our first full day at Camp, and all agree that it was awesome! The theme today was “Cavemen” as we talked about Creation. We woke up to a refreshing round of limbo, and all were impressed at some people’s flexibility. We then had a great morning program led by Jan, Father Ernie, and 2 of his daughters where we learned about the Power of Words and how they can transform water crystals. We each got to wear a positive word on our shirts until lunch, and then hung the words in Wells so we can feel their power for the rest of the week. The swim test was a rowdy but fun time, followed by the age-old tradition of the “tippy canoe” test! Then, finally, it was time to swim - not a moment too soon, as it is HOT outside! We drank lots of water today! This evening we made flags with our small groups, and everyone came up with a great small group cheer/dance! We carried our flags around during the always-fun Small Group Olympics, each team excelling at a different activity. Finally it was time for campfire, which was followed by a quick worship service and beautiful sunset. Whew! We have earned our rest tonight!
