Camp 2010 Begins!

Camp 2010 is underway! The camp staff arrived Saturday at noon and made preparations to greet 83 campers. The theme of this year's camp is 'Covenant'. The key verse for this study is:

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, He is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.”
~Deuteronomy 7:9

The campers arrived in camp and the first thing they do is go to their cabin and meet their fellow campers and their counselor. Once they get settled into their cabins, they come to the mess hall for an opening period of devotion.

After the devotional time, the campers went out and bid farewell to their parents, and then they got to see an entertaining video presentation of the camp rules.
Once the rules of camp conduct are finished, it’s time for Midgett’s madness. This is a most interesting mix of "games" that immerse campers into the camp spirit. One of the main purposes of Midgett’s madness is to help funnel the emotion and energy of the first day of camp in a productive way.

The day closed with a devotional time and the campers returned to their cabins for the night. The goal for the campers tonight is to get a good night's rest and to be ready for a full day of Monday activities.

As always we covet your prayers. We all want to more clearly understand covenant, and the covenant that God has established with us through Jesus.
