Bubbling with Excitement

Happy Monday from Ox Lake!

To kick off our first full day at Ox Lake, we hopped into knocker balls for rounds of sharks and minnows, gladiator, duels, and battles against our counselors for free canteen items. As a creative way to combat the heat, our cabins created snowmen out of the bubbles! Between rounds of bubble soccer, our campers were content to lounge at the picnic tables with ice water and sway in hammock village. We even jumped in the Balsam branch, a small river on site, to cool down in the afternoon! Our campers had a blast picking river weeds and splashing around in the cool water. As the sun began to set and the temperatures dropped, we played a classic camp field game – Mighty Mighty Scoop Noodle Challenge. Everyone had a blast dodging tags, chasing down items, and throwing balls across the line. At the end of the day, we still had energy to spare and had a great campfire full of fun actions, dancing, and laughter as well as worship. To celebrate our last day, we all enjoyed making choco-tacos over the fire before diving right into devotionals.

We are living for the energy this group brings, from games to campfires to all the moments in between, it seems like they’re always bouncing around and finding something to laugh about. We can’t wait to see them do it all over again tomorrow!
