Picnic at the Park

Happy Tuesday from Ox Lake!

This morning, we had the opportunity to spend time on our lovely low ropes course. Our cabins had a blast doing trust falls, walking across wires, and other challenge activities. Afterwards, we spent our afternoon at DD Kennedy, a local park, where we had a picnic, played cornhole, spikeball, kan-jam, and splashed around in the water. While some campers enjoyed laying in the sun or playing cards, others spent the entire trip playing 500 in the water. On the walk back to 2nd village, we passed out electrolyte freeze pops to improve our hydration and stay cool!

During free time, our campers had the opportunity to make wood-burning creations, challenge (and defeat) their counselors in games of spikeball, gaga, and carpet ball for free canteen items, and chat while tying friendship bracelets. After dinner, we played a few intense rounds of medic. With such an athletic and energetic crew, our rounds were very exciting and long-lasting!

In the evening, we held worship followed by roasting s’mores over the campfire. As our campers enjoyed their treats, our counselors were stretching and warming up for our weekly night game: Lightning Bug! Our campers had a great time chasing after our lightning bugs and dodging our swatters with their light-up noodles. And for the first time in history, our campers

We couldn’t be more excited for tomorrow and all the activities and opportunities to grow in community and in relationship with God. This group continues to demonstrate not only a positive attitude and enthusiasm for all our activities, but also uplift one another, exemplify kindness, and act with maturity and intentionality. We’re thrilled to have so many more days of fun ahead!
