Hello all! We can't believe that Camp 2 is already here and movin and shakin! We've had a blast in our first 48 hours! Here's a summary of what we've done!
We started with a big ole game of Do You Love Your Neighbor- it includes a lot of running and laughing, perfect for this big and fun crew!
After dinner (lasagna- yum!) we got to know our family groups and play some games together, which was awesome. Next up on the docket was a game of Capture the Flag in the field- always a fan favorite!
The yesterday morning (Monday) we had breakfast and cabin clean up before Father Terry Street led us in a beautiful opening Eucharist. It was so fun to hear a little bit more about our theme and worship and sing together! There is so much joyful noise with this group!
We spent the rest of the morning swimming and playing kickball- quite the combo for our youth!
Once we had lunch and a nice long rest for siesta we went to afternoon activities- both on campus and off! Several campers went to Foster Falls where they got to swim or go rock climbing with the South Cumberland State Park Rangers- thanks Ranger Jason for taking us!
On campus we spent time at the art barn, playing soccer, doing a little bit of experimenting with science and baking just to name a few!
After dinner we spent time talking about how God is illuminated in creation for us. Since we are in such a beautiful area it is easy to see all the ways God reveals himself in nature to us. Each youth also contributed a pebble to the stone altar- funny how every little stone makes a difference!
After chapel we had the famous cabin olympics! With events like a Raisin relay, 4 legged race and name that tune (name that tune waved to the blog last night!)
Finally we ended with the Camp Gailor-Maxon prayer and a big thank you to Brown Myers for leading us all in that special prayer!
