With our overall camp theme being “Impossible is Nothing,” today our focus was on “Broken Hearts Can Be Mended.” Former MSC camper Scott Sandusky flew in from North Carolina specifically to teach this morning’s Bible class, and for that we are sooooooo thankful. As many know, Scott suffered a life-threatening injury on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 when one of…
With today’s theme being “Broken Hearts Can Be Mended,” sports staff member Casey Price led our flagpole devotion this morning. Broken hearts often stem from the tragedy of losing someone or something near to us, but we should take comfort in the fact that God is with you wherever you go — “Have not I commanded thee?

The 4th of July at MSC has been a great day. Great weather, lots of new and exciting events, and a first as we went to see fireworks at Brazil Park. Our thanks go out to Andy and Courtney Dickey who planned this morning’s free time activities, helped out throughout the afternoon activities, and helped coordinate the fireworks trip. Also…
The buses have left Camp Shakamak and MSC campers and staff are currently headed to Brazil Park to celebrate the 4th of July in style with fireworks. 2008 was the last time MSC went to Six Flags, so that’s the last time the group has left the campground for an offsite event. Needless to say, some of our current campers…

The teams maneuvered along the outside of the first buoy, then proceeded to completely encircle the second buoy (all 360 degrees), then…
To replace Ten Flags Day, sports directors Greg and Stacy King added three new events today. First of all was “A Minute to Win the Amazing Race,” which was a combination of television competition shows “Minute to Win It” and “The Amazing Race.” The game required teams to decipher rhymes to determine where to run across the campground to…
Brethren from Moldova have been following our MSC blog, so Sr. Week wanted to say hello!
Our schedule was shaken up a little this year and Ten Flags was removed from the schedule to add in some brand new, exciting events. After Bible class this morning, campers were still given three hours of free time during which they could play volleyball, frisbee, lifesize Jenga made from 4″x4″ posts, Skeeball, board games in the mess hall,…
“Impossible is Nothing” with God, and today we focused on the fact that “Family As God Intended IS Possible.” The male and female campers were separated into two different classes this morning, and volleyball coordinator Jerry Price taught the boys’ class and camp “gopher” Cindy Cleary taught the girls’ class. Boys’ Class God has from the beginning had a…
