It's Thursday and we're still going strong

We woke up to rain this morning: fortunately most brought rain gear or they adapted quickly:

We had a water fun day yesterday, thank goodness the weather stayed perfectly HOT and dry so EVERYONE was thrilled to get wet: the object here was to PULL your counselor UP the slip and slide needless to say there was WAY more "sliding DOWN" than there was "pulling up" going on . Water balloons and big wet sponges were involved in parts of this activity as well so everyone pretty much left drenched, just the way we like it! OH and the campers had a chance to "pay back" their counselors in a most rewarding way:

We had another campfire and then a movie to end the day..... I suspect most campers had no problem sleeping last night and that most counselors wished they could have stayed awake long enough to appreciate it!

On an aside, I'm going to try and make sure this doesn't post with a huge space at the end so I don't recieve an abundance of razzing by certain individuals (you know who you are).

I'll see if the internet will let me post another issue of "Intermediate 2 - Days of Our Lives" later tonight. Enjoy!

Skyler's Letter to Mom

Dear Mom,
I miss you a lot!!! I made new friends. Their names are Austin, Devin, Jake, and Isaac. Camp Manatawny has awesome food. I have done 3 memory verses. Then I got seven pixie sticks. After that I made a duct tape wallet in crafts. Its teal and camo. I played Frisbee with friends.

Sincerely,

Skyler Erb

Time to check out some more pics!

So let's see, we left off with Sun. night...Mon. brought us another clear but very hot day. The kids all seem to be doing well, better than some of the staff actually! I got that pic of boys Cabin 8 per the request and here they are:

Not only did we get a pic of them, they are todays winners for cabin cleaning! That's right, you heard it here first.

A typical day here at camp begins with calisthenics, doesn't that look fun?

Another camp ritual is frequently heard in line for every meal, Slap Billy Ola:

The boys go all out at athletics, even on hot days. We keep jugs of water out for all our atheletes.

Pictures!

It's been an incredibly busy two days here at camp and we have the pics to prove it. Of course everything began Sat. with check in:

It wasn't long before the kids were up and running (straight to the pool that is):

After boys swim, there were some "getting to know you/team building" activities:

This was all about working together to keep the ball in the air and then they tied themselves into human knots then had to untangle themselves:

We ended a great day with a rowdy campfire:

Sunday brought us another beautiful day filled with bible classes, worship, more swimming, archery, arts & crafts, special activities and we ended the day with an enthusiastic creek walk. The creek rang out with laughter, shouts, splashing and general fun to be had by all, it seemed:

Check back tomorrow for more pics and updates.

It's Monday !

God is Good !

We have been having a blast for the past couple of days and learning SO much. Our kids have been doing memory work, competing in athletics, enjoying their bible classes, meeting new friends, and singing their hearts out in praise to our awesome God !

We are learning that Jesus wants us to go the Opposite Way from the world and last night we learned how difficult that can be. We had a creek walk and went UP the Manatawny creek. Ask your kids how it feels to be the 1st Manatawny session (that we know of) to go UP the creek. They were awesome !

Your kids are all GREAT ! Thank you for bringing them here this week.

I2 Great first day!

We had a great first day at camp! Already starting to forge new friends and catchup with old ones. It is amazing how close I feel to God when I'm here. The kids singing tonight really made that happen. They poured everything they had into their singing tonight. God is good All the time and All the time God is good!

Tomorrow!

Here we go, are you ready? Come one come all... bring your desire to have fun, learn, play hard, reconnect with old friends and meet new ones and just enjoy a wonderful week of praise and worship. See you there :D.
