The first camp is officially over! I can't believe how fast it went. It seemed like the campers just got here and now they are gone. The 8 interns taught classrooms how to do the inductive study method through the book of James. The whole week focused on studying the Bible without a study. We showed them how to do a chapter study and walked them through the steps each day. They worked on a chapter a day, so the last day we let them do chapter 5 by themselves. It was so exciting to see them working and really getting the method! And
more importantly, they were knowing God a little bit more each day!
Besides the classroom, Paul(my co-counselor) and I had a team where we competed against other teams during sports time. I am proud to announce that we were UNDEFEATED!!
The kids on our team were all SO different but so much fun! They really loved each other and it was so fun to see them work together so well!
They had an obstacle course that all 10 teams competed in called the "Gladiator Event". A few of the guy counselors dressed up like gladiators. Here is a picture of all the campers at the starting line and Ryan(my co-teacher and one of the gladiators:) lol) getting ready to start the event:
They had to do some hard team building events as well as some gross things that you have to do when you work with students...just for laughs:) They had to get their whole team over a rope without touching it as well as sit on a balloon filled with chocolate pudding:)
I also roomed with 5 other girls in a room. Here is a picture of all of us:
It was a great week at camp. We are continuing to pray for the students who now have to leave and go back home to really tough situations. The goal was to teach them a method of study in order that they could continue in it at home...ONLY to grow closer with their Savior.
We are just hanging out today. We got up and went to church where David Lawson was preaching. Then all of us went to Chili's for lunch. We are going to go play some volleyball and just rest before orientation starts tomorrow. Counselors for boot camp 2 get here tonight.
Please pray for the next campers that they Lord will be preparing their hearts. Pray for strength and endurance for those of us who have been here for both camps.
The Lord is so good and has been teaching me SO much! I can't wait to write more.
