Day #4 - God Hears Me When I Pray

Today is the last day of camp and we are sad to see it end, but glad to get to see our families!  We have talked about the story of Daniel in the lions' den and Hannah wanting a baby so badly!  These stories show us that God knows us so well that he can recognize our voices and hear us no matter what is going on. What a Great Big God we serve!!!

Right now we are finishing up lunch and crafts and then headed to pack up. We are excited to show the parents all we have leaned and experienced in our closing program at 2:00 today!!!!

Day #3 - Our Strength Comes From God

Today we have looked at two stories from the Bible that show us that God is our strength.  When we rely on God's strength and not our own, we can do great things!  What a great God He is!!

We have had so much fun this week getting to know each other and learning more about God.  The Lagoon and Pool have been such a blast and Fun Hour has had us rolling with laughter for sure!  Tonight we are doing our cabin skits for Fun Hour so we are all getting ready for that.  

Here are some fun pictures...

Day #2 - God's Way is the Best Way!

Today we are learning that we can trust God and that His way is the best way.  Even when we don't understand why...God's way is the best way.  Our lessons were from Joshua and Judges.  We talked about Jericho (A Great Big Crash) and Gideon (A Great Big Army).  We discussed how hard it is sometimes to do what we are told when it just doesn't make sense or we don't know why.  We need to trust our God who is always just, right and faithful!

Here are some pictures of our adventures so far!

Day #1 - God Knows What We Need

Camp has started and we are having a blast!  Yesterday we did our swim test right after all the parents left.  The kids did a great job of being brave and strong.  After swim time we spent some time in the cabins getting to know each other before diving in to Wild Thing where we sing crazy songs and get the wiggles out.  Dinner and Worship came next and it is always such an amazing blessing to hear the beautiful sound of our precious children praising our GREAT BIG GOD!  If you have never heard over 130 small voices praising God with Mighty to Save...it is a must do!  What a great reminder of why we do this thing called camp.  After Worship we headed to Fun Hour where we found out who was on our Team Building teams for the week and we made us some fun chants to represent our teams.  Shortly after we headed to bed.  What a first half day!  

This morning we woke up bright and early and headed to Flag Pole where we sang some fun wake up songs, read scripture, prayed and said the Pledge of Allegiance before breakfast.  They definitely feed us well here!  In our Bible classes today we learned that God Knows What We Need!  He is a great big God who provides for us no matter what.  The two stories we talked about to show this were the Crossing of the Red Sea (A Great Big Escape) and the Manna & Quail in the Wilderness (A Great Big Feast).  

We just finished up lunch and will head to crafts and rest time before swim time in the Lagoon and Pool.  

Tomorrow I will post some pictures of Fun Hour and some of our fun Team Activities like Noodle Hockey and Water Baseball!
