Day 1

We apologize for the delay in getting info out to our blog. We’ve been having some technical difficulties with Internet service up here at Camp, but we think we’ve devised a workaround that will enable us to post messages once or twice a day. Please keep checking back for updates!

Our week got off to a fantastic start yesterday! God has blessed us with 97 wonderful Campers, and we’ve all been getting to know each other. Our theme for the week is “One,” from Ephesians 4:1-6. Yesterday they were introduced to the theme, and led through some icebreaker activities that emphasized our importance to God as individuals—but also our value to God as members of a greater community, the church. These messages will be reinforced all week in our chapel times and our Bible classes, as well as during our daily theme activities.

The counselors report that their cabin devotionals after lights-out last night were really exceptional. The kids are opening up, and asking great questions about spiritual things. One young lady was baptized last night—Kailey Swenson. She had been studying the Bible with some folks at home, and decided she was ready to commit her life to the Lord. Her father was able to baptize her last evening at the pool, with the whole Camp looking on. Our prayer is that God will continue to work on the hearts of these young people.

We continue to be dazzled by the talent and the work ethic of our staff. They are true servants who love God. Your children are in great hands!

That’s all for now. We’ll try to get updates out here as often as possible—please be patient with us! And please continue to pray for our week, that God will continue to work powerfully here—as he always does.

On behalf of the Directors,
Jeff Werkheiser
