Junior High 3 is coming to a close, but we still have so much fun planned for these campers! This group is having a great time worshipping God and spending time in His marvelous creation. Let’s recap the past few days then look at what we still have coming for the rest of the week.
On Wednesday Morning we got up for the Polar Dip then met everyone at the Steps of Faith before breakfast. After eating, we cleaned our cabins, and then found a spot for TAG Time. During Wednesday Morning Chapel, the girls worshipped together in the Main Hall while the boys gathered in the A-Frame. Then we had Cabin time and Morning Free time until lunch. For Mail Call, campers were serenaded with a song about ‘Last Week at Camp.’ Next we went to clinics and seminars and heard from our staff about ways we can be intentional in serving the Lord and spreading Truth throughout various areas of our life.
After Clinics and Seminars, it was time for Free time. God blessed us with beautiful weather this week! Many campers chose spend time down at the water front. Other’s stayed in the Craft Room making bracelets, painting, and decorating picture frames. For Dinner Line-up, Norway volunteered to lower the flag. Following Dinner, we went to Chapel and heard from our speaker, Matt Twist. During Evening Free time our Volleyball Tournament Winners–Germany and Denmark cabins–faced off at the Sand Volleyball Courts to determine the ultimate Volleyball Champions of 2024 Junior High 3. It was a tough battle, in the end Germany cabin came out victorious!
On Wednesday Evening, we played a round of Fugitive as the sun set. Fugitive is a new game at Camp Lebanon this summer. During this game, all of staff hides around the edges of Camp while campers are being told the rules. once the bell rings, campers are allowed to go out and start searching for staff members. Once they find someone, they have to capture the staff member or convince them to come to jail. If they successfully catch someone, then they lead the staff member back to the jail. Each staff member they catch is worth one point. Alternatively, if a staff member is able to make it back to the ‘Court of Miracles’ (the Tennis Courts) then they earn a point for their team. The final score was 64-43, campers won by a long shot! On Thursday, we got an additional hour of sleep to give everyone some extra energy for the day. During Thursday Morning Chapel, both guys and girls had a panel of speakers answering questions the campers submitted throughout the week. Thank you to our staff who participated in sharing wisdom and Truth! After Chapel, we had a short Free time and then met at the Ampitheatre for Lunch Line-up.
Thursday afternoon was full of fun surprises! During Mail Call, we watched a short movie about Wiffleball Manor and those who lived their in the past. During Afternoon Free time, campers enjoyed swimming, boating, laser tag, crafts, and relaxing in the Hub. Once Free time was over, we met at the steps for Flag Lowering and then went to Dinner. After Dinner, we gathered in the Main Hall for our final Chapel of the week. Following we Chapel, we had Evening Free time and everyone got ready for the Campfire! The walk to Bass Point was full of laughs and group karaoke. It was quite chilly outside, but the fire provided some much needed warmth! The weather created a nice contrast to the heat we’ve been facing the past few weeks, that combined with the beauty of God’s creation made for a memorable evening! After the ‘Praise God’ yell we made our way back to Camp and got ready for bed.
