Camp 2's Tuesday and Wednesday!

Camp 2's Tuesday- try saying that five times fast (I did, trust me it's not pretty), but our Tuesday at camp couldn't have been prettier! It went a little like this-
Breakfast and cabin clean up lead to chapel- where we talked about how God is illuminated in scripture for each one of us. We talked about the story of Jesus being transfigured on the mountain and reflected on how that story- and the stories in the Bible still can affect us today. Each youth was given a paper light bulb to decorate with their favorite verse- it made for a beautiful strand in the chapel!

We sang some songs, played magic tambourine and of mot importantly learned the CGM line dance! Now we are all ready for the dance Friday night!


With full stomachs from lunch and a little rest from siesta we continued on to our afternoon activities- which included going off campus to the Shakerag hike and staying on campus to do things like tie dye and swim!





The evening brought the ever-so-famous counselor hunt! The youth made up some excellent charges of things our staff are certainly guilty of and those who were found got pushed in the pool!






Wednesday was a little bit more serious as far as chapel goes when we talked about finding God in the darkness. It was so great to watch the youth find that even in the darkness we will never be alone, God is always with us! 
In the afternoon we took our trip to Sewanee! We ran around and played at the quad, stopped by the bookstore and hiked the Tennessee Williams trail to the cross. It was so fun!

At night we went to All Saint's Chapel in Sewanee to have a little evening service. I have rarely seen a more beautiful sight than these 80 youth praising God in that beautiful space!




Thursday here we come! How did we get in to the last bit of this week so fast?
