Wrapping up the Summer.

Wow. 70 days its been. 70 days of the Lord working in mighty ways. 70 days of playing in the sun! 70 days of living in Teepee's. Summer 2011 is surely one for the record books!

We've played in the mud, gone down the slip-n-slide too many times to count, walked the Emmaus Trail, met the Toy Story characters, made new friends, participated in dance parties, learned Walk Thru the New Testament among countless other things!

Over 600 kids accepted Christ at K7 this summer. 600 kids whose lives are changed for all of eternity! Praise God!

As we depart tomorrow we leave different than when we arrived. By God's grave we've been stretched, refined and grown considerably.

Summer 2011 will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

Thank you for an incredible summer!!

Favorite Activity at Kamp...Part 2

Yesterday we introduced to first favorite activity...the slip-n-slide. However, you can't talk about favorite activities without including the Kamikazi Cribbs!

Named after our Assistant Director and Safety Officer Mr. Dave Cribbs, the Kamikazi has been around for about 5 years. It is the first thing kampers ask about when they first arrive and meet their counselors in the church and the first thing they head towards when at the pool.

Choose to ride down solo or with a buddy, either way you'll love the twists and turns and the splash in the pool at the end.

Looks like fun, huh!

Favorite Activity at Kamp...Part 1

When asking Kampers what their favorite activity at Kamp is you'll usually hear an array of answers. Whether it's archery, ski class, the blob or basketball we have so many awesome activities that no one can pick just one favorite!

There are, however, two specific activities that typically generate excitement from everyone- the first being our newest addition at K-7...the SLIP-N-SLIDE!

During staff training our staff worked tirelessly to ensure the slip-n-slide was ready for that very first Kamper that came through the gates on June 4th.

Throughout the summer we've added many variations to the traditional slide down. Kampers have created different ways of going down..there is the squirrel and turtle, the whale and bird. Counselors will give style points for their creativity or have races to see who can slide down the fastest.

Who wouldn't want to spend an hour at the slip-n-slide! It's no surprise that it is one of the most favorite activities in Kamp!

Wipeout!

Last night was our last installment of Wipeout, our Sunday night program that is always a kamper favorite! Kampers participate in an array of messy activities that leave them muddy, dirty and with huge smiles on their faces!

Dance parties in the foam pit!

The gauntlet, an extra muddy obstacle course!

The mud pit of despair is always the favorite!

At the end of the evening kampers head to the center of the field for a dance party under the fire hoses!

Free Time!

Most days, between the hour of 5:30 and 6:30 you'll find out Junior Kampers on an array of activities. It's the one time of day they are not necessarily with their entire TP, and the time THEY get to choose their activity! Thats right, it's Free Time!

Kampers' love this time as they get to choose how they spend it! With the blazing heat this summer we've noticed a considerable amount of Kampers migrating toward the pool (and who can blame them!) but they are also free to have TP time in the church, play put-put, archery, tether ball, washers and array of other games! What would you choose during free time?!
