Following awesome grilled hamburgers, potato wedges, and scrumptious strawberry shortcake for lunch, rain showers decided to camp out over Shakamak for a couple of hours. Since there has been no lightning to threaten the campers, camp has continued as scheduled with the addition of even MORE MUD! Remember, yesterday’s motto was MORE MUD = MORE FUN, so everyone’s truly having…
At first glance, the water balloon launch looks like a fairly simple task, but it takes a unique skill. “Fizzles” are much more common than you would imagine. All morning campers in Groups 1, 2, and 3 rotated between the water balloon launch, crafts, and the morning Bible Study. Jaiden Owens launched his water balloon the farthest at an…
Continuing with our weekly camp theme of “Impossible is Nothing,” today’s specific theme is “Purity is Possible.” Green team captain Shannon Shaffer started the day off with a flagpole devotion about purity. Although we must remain pure when we are thinking about choosing a boyfriend/girlfriend, we must remain pure and always be clothed with modest apparel, and we must…
As usual, the campers are raving about Ms. Belinda’s meals, and this morning was no exception. Here’s a little proof (sorry, Mom):
At today’s morning staff meeting, a touching homemade card from camper Michaela Schoolcraft was read: “MSC ROCKS! To the Staff of MSC from Michaela Schoolcraft. Thank You! Thank you so much for letting all the campers have great times every year. Camp is what I look forward to the moment it’s over. The food here is great, and so…
Following the MSC “Talentless” Night, the campers were dismissed to the lower sports field for singing camp songs under the stars. What a joyful noise to the Lord!!!!! To welcome the first year Sr. Week campers, the last year and next-to-last year Cabin 10 males went to the first year Cabin 4 boys’ cabin to meet them, welcome them to…
Following Monday night’s Bible study, the longstanding tradition of the staff MSC “Talentless” Night continued as team captains and fellow staff took to the stage of the rec hall to entertain the campers. Just prior to the beginning of the show, staff was scattered and sitting among the campers when all of a sudden the music began blaring and…
Our overall camp theme this year is “Impossible is Nothing” (Luke 18:27), and our theme today was “Salvation is Possible…with God.” After lunch, last year camper Jacob Stout led a devotion explaining how many things are impossible for mere men, but ALL things are possible with God. He spoke about how with God’s help, David, just a shepherd boy, was…
To help all the campers (especially the first-time Sr. Campers) to better learn the songs we’ll be singing throughout this week, Compadre Kevin Colvin and his father Kevin L. Colvin held a song workshop for all of the campers today, two teams at a time. Each camper spent an entire hour studying the meaning of the following songs and learning…
