The Legend Part 1

Yesterday started with morning praise. One of the funnest things, for me, about morning praise is how many of the songs we sing at Camp are original pieces by the staff who work here now or in the past. This summer has featured a number of new songs that demonstrate the musical skill and doctrinal understanding that our staff is blessed with. After Morning Praise, the campers split off into activities and had a blast playing Tellestrations during Schleef Encounters, hit the mark in archery and challenged themselves (and the laws of gravity) at the High Ropes Course.


The highlights of the day for many kids included the evening game and campfire. The game, called The Legend Part 1, is the first of a two part epic battle between two fictional aboriginal tribes in Australia. The first part that we played had the campers struggling over control of the booger bridge. (No campers actually went into the booger.) The gathered materials and tagged each other and got hyped up. The hot colored team won but the game was very close and the kids tried extremely hard. Then, for campfire, the campers were treated to a vision of Jason Schleef ruling the world through the domination of the chocolate market. The campers sang the world anthem of Schleeftopia and watched as a traitor seemed to take down the empire only to betrayed himself. Just as you'd expect the campfire ended with Jason still ruling the world and laughing maniacally.


Roman 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 


Joe Garbe had devotion and went through the passage and taught how God loves us through anything in this word. In the devotion he even set the passage to a tune and had the campers sing along.
