Sometimes all you need to do is to make it to Tuesday. Tuesdays are fun for counselors at Camp Phillip because the kids are familiar with the structure of the day, they've experienced the fun of a full day at camp and now are ready for more. And what a fun-packed day it was! The campers played crazy Outdoor Sports Games like Skin the Snake and Great Wall of China, Sardines and Predator-Prey in Schleef Encounters, the girls took on the Challenge Course and everyone splashed away at swimming.
One game that has caught the attention of all of the campers and staff is Bula Ball. Bula Ball is a game from down under that is similar to dodgeball. Players stand on the edge of the Bula Ball ring (a wooden octogon a little over two feet high) and wait for the soft, rubber ball to bounce twice, saying, "Bula," during each bounce. On the second bounce the fast and frantic action begins. Players try to hit the ball at their opponents' legs without their own legs getting hit or their hits getting caught. The last man, or woman, left in the ring is the winner. Games are fast and the winner of one game might just as easily be the first one out in the next. I'm sure your campers will have lots to say about Bula Ball on the trip home.
Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.
The password skit this morning featured Joe playing the part of a lost camper being found; the password was Found. Instead of saying the usual, "awww," Patrick had the kids say, "Aha," as if they had just actually found something. Needless to say, ahas, rang across camp throughout the day. For devotion, Topher talked about 3 letter words you would want if you were lost such as a map, a GPS, and even a Wii. In the end, when you feel lost from sin or troubles, the best thing for your soul is always Jesus.
