Camp 2: Thursday!

First of all, we had a birthday yesterday! Happy birthday Wallace! We're so glad you spent your day here with us at CGM! (Yes, that is Wallace under all that hair!)

Thursday was all about our "buckets"- the invisible bucket on top of our heads that gauges how we are feeling. In chapel the staff put on a pretty awesome skit- including buckets and water- about how your bucket affects you. We learned that how others treat you can empty or fill your bucket, and then how you treat others can do the same. 

After a chicken sandwich lunch and a siesta full of naps, we were ready to fill other people's buckets on our day of service! We had 2 parts of our service rotation, one for helping DuBose and the other for helping the ladies of Thistle Farms! Around DuBose we spread mulch in needed places and cleaned up trash around campus. In the downstairs chapel we learned about Magdalene House and Thistle Farms, what they do and how we could help. Yesterday we helped by cutting t-shirts to be sent to the paper studio and had a blast doing so! Everyone kept cutting when it was time to finish- we just loved being together while doing something good for someone else!

 When we finished our service projects, we played in the pool and in the field (ultimate frisbee) a little bit before free time. And then last night.... we had Coffee House! An annual favorite that is our talent show! Our youth get to show off all the wonderful things they can do- from singing, to piano, to belly clapping (ask your child for a demonstration- it is quite the sight). Each cabin also performs a skit- most of them this year were some form of interpretive dance to some pretty hilarious songs.We love getting to watch so many come out of their shells and show us how talented they are! Below are just a few pictures of our acts from last night. They were pretty priceless!

We finally finished with Compline all together. It was a great day full of laughter and life!
