Hey all -
So Jr. Boys overnight week is over! These young men were 9-12 years old and FULL of energy and things to talk about. Seriously, they talked a lot.
Thankfully though - I had a really great cabin. The boys behaved quite well, listened fairly well and were quiet as soon as the lights went off. I really am/was thankful for such a good group of boys.
The mud pit was a pretty big hit with everyone, only a couple of boys sat out. I personally really love the mud pit...there's just something great about getting covered in mud and playing tug of war over a mud pit that is simply great.
This week in afternoon chapels the boys (and day camper girls) learned about angels and Lucifer! Such solid teaching here at camp! The campers have learned that God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient (last week)!! I think the boys really enjoyed and got a lot from learning about the creation of angels and the fall of Lucifer. After taking the angelology class at school I felt fairly comfortable talking to the boys about angels and demons while having knowledge of the subject. In the evenings we went through King David's life from child (slaying Goliath), as king (wanting to build a temple for God), as a sinner (his sin with Bathsheba) and as a fugitive (when Saul was hunting David).
We are so blessed to have Uncle Keith here to teach and prepare the curriculum. He's going to teach the entire Bible chronologically within four years here at camp! Such amazingness!
Please keep praying for the campers who will be coming for day camp throughout July, for us counselors who are old and get tired and for the staff to continue having servants' hearts and that God would continue to bless the camp and the families who trust us with their children.

Thanks for the post Ryan! It's a great overview of the last week at camp. I really appreciate the camp's focus on solid Bible teaching too, and I think this new chronological curriculum is going to be great. I'll be praying for you and everyone else at camp during July.
Hey friend, glad that you've enjoyed camp & the boys that you're with! I hope that it all continues to go well! I'll be praying for you... and those boys!
Next Summer you'll have to come back for VBS. :] That's a "have to" not a "should come back" by the way. ;)
Hey Ryan! It has been a while since I have read your blog. Sounds like things are going really well for you! I'm so glad that camp has been a good experience for you so far, and I pray that things will continue to go well! We just got done with Kids Kamp at Ludlow Falls, and I have to say...I'm already going through withdraw. :( For me, this was the best year so far, and I just LOVED being a senior counselor. Alright, I will talk to you later! You will be in my prayers!
