Day Camp 2007!!!

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Day Camp 2007 was a flurry of activity with 35 staff, 8 High School Counselors in Training and 78 campers. Monday started with a bang as Les Drake, the science guy, demonstrated how the big bang theory could not have possibly sent the 9 planets in an orderly orbit. The fragments of ping pong balls entitled, pluto, earth, mars, etc., were scattered in a disorderly fashion and left the campers and staff alike in awe of God’s ability and design in speaking the universe into existence (Psalm 33:6,9) “He spoke and it was done.”

The campers learned about the 7 C’s of Biblical history starting with “Creation” on Monday. Tuesday was “Corruption” and the fall of man, Wednesday was the “Catastrophe” of NOah’s global flood, Thursday was “Confusion” of the tower of Babel and Friday was “Christ & the Cross”.


Adam & Eve (practicing their ‘creation’ skit for Monday)


The Joyful People(The 6-7 yr. old group )


The Christmas Critters (The other 6-7 yr. old group)

Everyone began their own “log book” to record events, verses, thoughts, pictures and friends in throughout the week.


The 8 yr. olds

Monday’s weather was great, but most of the rest of the week, some felt the flood was upon us again with the continuous rain. Everyone persevered and had fun still, I think :)

Wednessday the kids started gathering the animals of clay for the ark in Crafts.


The “BIGS” (12-14yr. olds) did a carpentry/craft project of building book games made of wood, holes, and pegs and when finished, allowed them to play several games.


The Eagles (11yr. olds)


Outdoor Life had a special visitor of Roscoe the Racoon


The Fireballs (9-10yr. olds)

THe CIT (counselor in Training) group getting costumes during skit practice. Can you tell which CIT’s they are?


Friday brought many games, races, tug o’ wars, competitions and programs as the “BIGS” competed in a chariot race. They utilized their lashing and knots they learned during the week to build their chariots and race the other half of their group around the course while pulling a member of their team.


Happy times in the nice, dry, assembly tent.

Hope you had a great time at Day Camp 2007 and keep your eyes open for more pictures and stories to come. “Jesus prayed, ‘use the truth to make them holy.’ Your word is truth.” John 17:17
