Week 5 – Lakeside Encouragement – Wed

The oppressive heat stroke has finally broken at Camp! In spite of the hot weather yesterday, our boys enjoyed a morning of exciting activities at the lake, including swimming, boating, and the always popular BATTLE BARGE!

Two of the girls' cabins camped out by the lake all night and learned how to fish and pitch tents. They roasted marshmallows around what was many of the girls' first campfire! One camper caught her very first fish, much to the excitement of the entire cabin.

We have also had an amazing story of God's work in camp this week! One little girl here has health problems that often cause her to be a step behind the rest her cabin. Instead of complaining about her special treatment, or the delays she inadvertently causes, her cabin mates have rallied behind her, supporting and encouraging her when she is struggling- and so have the girls in the cabin next door! Thank God for their new found unity! It is a blessing to see the girls rally together!
