The nurses here at camp have seen a few upset tummy's that the AC seems to help. One boy fell off the merry-go-round and scratched his shoulder. However, he took it like a champ and a band-aid made it all better! This evening a few kiddos visited the clinic for asthma problems, with one having to be taken to the hospital because the treatments were not helping like they needed to. There is also a little girl sleeping in the clinic with asthma problems, but she is doing much better. Please pray for these kids and that all the campers and staff stay healthy!
Today at the pool a little girl asked one of the cooks, "Where have I seen you before? The lady told her that she helps cook in the kitchen. The girl replies, "I didn’t know cooks knew how to swim"
One of the girls was complimented on how well mannered she was, she said,"Well my mama said if I go to camp and don’t say yes ma'am, I'm gonna get it when I get home!" Very polite young lady!
A few new 'rules' some of the counselors made up today:
- The rocks are getting overly hydrated, so please, stop watering the rocks!
- An adult must be in the boat with the kids because the refreshing wind that helped us so much today was NOT helping the kids as the boats were getting blown into the swimming beach!
Chapel was action packed with pirates flying through the air and sword fighting. Some of the best times are just listening to the kids singing and praising the Lord! They continue to get prizes for learning their memory verses. 
We have a few sleep-walkers -- walking out of chapel time totally EXHAUSTED and just plain tuckered out! But there were a few activities left to do still!
One group went geo-caching around camp with their GPS' finding clues and eventually the 'cache'....POPSICLES!
Over in the kitchen some of the girls make some delicious chocolate chip cookies with a dash of cinnamon. YUMMY!
Some of the boys learned to shoot the bow & arrow. It was a little tricky for some at first, but they practiced and were able to hit the target! Water balloon fights, swimming and lake time were some of the other evening activities.
Finally, it was time to hit the sack, everyone was worn out from going strong all day long!
