Jr Hi 2 Camp Finished
Hey Everyone,
We have come to the end of our Jr Hi 2 week of camp and it was a great time with these campers! This week we had a 112 campers between the ages of 12-14 and they had so much fun with all the activities. The campers had fun in all their skills and the wide games and night games this week. This was a pretty full camp of the summer and we enjoyed having them here, learning about God's love and the 10 commandments from our speaker Kelly Taylor. One of my favourite things to hear each week is the memorization that happens after breakfast each day. Campers are encouraged to memorize some scripture and later in the week they go around to other teams and share their memorized piece of scripture with all the actions. If you are outside or even in the office (like me), you can hear many campers reciting their verses loudly!
Kelly Taylor led these campers through the 10 Commandments and gave his gospel talk on Thursday evening. He encouraged the campers to be reading God's Word daily, to encourage and build up each other instead of tearing others down, and to respect those around them. The campers responded well in chapel times, with Kelly getting them to come up and read scripture during chapel times. Pray for these young teenagers as they go home. That they would remember what they learned about the gospel and stand firm as they head into school soon and at home.
Next Week: Junior 3
Sunday, August 17th is the beginning of our last week of camp! The summer has gone by so quickly and we are so thankful for the great year it has been with our campers. This week we have 91 campers between the ages of 8-11 coming to camp. The schedule is very much the same as always and we look forward to having a great time with theses campers!
Our speaker is Jordan Weisner from Tisdale, SK. We are excited to have him share with us this week! Jordan is serving as a Pastor of the Tisdale Alliance Church. Pray for him as he shares in our chapel times. Pray that God's truth would be spoken clearly and these young campers would respond with honest hearts. Pray for our cabin leaders as they share in their cabin devotional times as well.
