Friday

Today is the last day of camp. This week has passed by quickly. Although it rained early in the week, none of our activities were impacted. Starting Wednesday we have had some of the best weather that we could hope for. For those of us who live in an urban setting, the surroundings here are a great blessing. It is so good to enjoy the fresh air, the sunshine, and the quiet.

We have talked about transformation this week. One of the transformations we see is in the spirit of all of those who are at camp. When the drop the busy lives many of us live. When we drop the things that distract us, we make room for the Spirit to move in us. There was such a relaxed spirit among the group this morning. Spending time together worshiping, studying, eating, and playing caused the barriers that exist between us to drop. Kyle Taylor's cabin led the devotional time this morning.
After lunch, Janie Loudermilk was given a memento for her 15 years as a camper and a counselor.

In Bible class they talked about transforming the world using the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. How their faith in God led them through a blazing furnace, so that when they came out of the fire the world around them was transformed.
Activities today is sweet heart kickball for the younger campers, and the cable hike for the older campers.

Today is the last of the softball and volley ball games. The champions are crowned tonight.

Awards were given out tonight. The awards are extremely well thought out and funny. Achievements such as are given awards.

We ended the day with nine baptisms. Allyson Lane, Annalise Jarnagin, Alexis Angell, Sarah Moran, Grayson Burke, Davis Lovell, Conner Crocker, Griffon Carlton, and Tanner Smith.

We ended the day with a devotional in the B lodge.

Saturday will be time to pack up and head home. It has been a great year at Camp!
