Unorthodox (even for camp)

What a day the Lord blessed us with today! The fishers started the day early at five in the morning and the Camp Phillip day stretched on until even now as kids are exploring the darkness with a night option. Dewey, the dewgong, hid in the wood pile and stayed hidden until the outback girls of cabin 3 found him and showed off their prize which also let them go first for dinner. Volley ball girls focused on fundamentals with bumping, setting, spiking and serving drills. Cabins completed the high ropes course. During Schleef Encounters campers took turns taking the roles of villagers, werewolves and little girls in a crazy game of lycopanthic confusion. Joe's outdoor sports groups focused on playing Camp Phillip classic Roccer. The crafts specialty made coasters (its cooler than it sounds). During the Evening Game campers went to an intergalactic saloon where alien scum, the staff, seemed to be smuggling moon rocks. The campers had to chase the staff before they transported their rocks while also figuring out who the head smugglers were. During Campfire two nerdy heroes made a return from the night before and tried to join a book club. The results were both tragic and hilarious.

Ephesians 4:1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.


During the morning Password, Leah talked about jobs. God gives us jobs to do on this earth and by his grace we should do them. For the evening devotion, Joel talked about how where we look is where we are going to go. If we look at and want to be like the popular kids who seem like they have an easy life, we will end up making the same mistakes they do. Instead, we should focus on God and his love for us as strive to love others.
