Today was a Grand Slam!

Happy Wednesday from Ox Lake!

What a jam-packed day! Our morning was full of new and exciting games never-before-seen at Ox Lake this summer. These games included FBI Fugitives and Gladiator. In the afternoon, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent our free time out at Ox Lake. We jumped off the raft, took out paddle boards and canoes on the water, and played volleyball, spikeball, and cornhole on the beach. Our campers especially enjoyed lounging on the raft in the sun and making friendship bracelets.

In the evening, we fueled out bodies with gyros – a new experience for some campers – before hopping right into our third field game of the day: kickball. The setting sun, while lovely, was not a friend to our outfielders searching the sky for pop flies. However, our night didn’t end there! After a high-energy campfire, we enjoyed s’mores over a smoldering fire as we waited for night to descend. We also had a dance party as we snacked, which included a whole line toe-tapping to Cotton Eye Joe. As if our day wasn’t busy enough, we also played our night game: Lightning Bug! Our cabins had a great time chasing down our counselors for chips, dodging giant light-up pool noodles, and engaging in silly activities and challenges when they didn’t dodge our counselors well enough. Our smallest cabin, with just four boys, managed to pull through with the win! Congrats to the Ash cabin!

As you can see, nothing can stop us from having a great week! We’re so excited for everything our last full day together holds: laser tag, knocker balls, and specialty worship, to name a few. We’re so thankful for the joyful spirits and enthusiasm of this crew!
