Summer Camp

Emily went to Hume Lake Christian Camp again this summer and had a grand time!

16 students, 5 counselors!

Here is a summary by Emily, in her own words:
This year’s camp experience was pretty similar to last year’s. It had the same schedule, with the same food, activities, and band. The camp theme for this year was called Forsaken, a medieval theme, about Saul and David in 1 Samuel. We had 11 girls crammed into a 10-bed cabin, and the cabin we got this year was a lot smaller and older then last years. Last year we only had 7 girls in a very nice and new cabin that was very clean and spacious. So our room was extremely messy the entire week. Free time was usually spent with a lot of volleyball and cards. We usually played Kemps and sometimes Egyptian War, BS, and Spoons. This year I did the high ropes course, which is up in the trees. Planks and blocks of wood are tied by ropes and we have to try and get across. I though that this was really fun, there was even a zipline at the end. We also explored the lake, going upstream during the last day. The water is cold at first, but then you get used to it so it was a good temperature. On Thursday, we had church time instead of regular chapel, so all the churches would get together to do their own thing. So our counselors David, Richard, Danika, and Jacquelyn washed the students feet in the lake, just as Jesus washed his disciples feet in John 13. When we get back to our cabins at night, there is usually a lot of bugs, even mosquitos. There’s no AC so we usually open up the windows or door, but then all the bugs would come in to the light. Since there was only ten beds, one counselor had to sleep on an air mattress to fit all 11 of us. Overall, I had a really nice time with good friends.

11 girls roomed in a 10-bed cabin with one shower and one toilet!

 A highlight was one of the students, Courtney, got baptized by our new youth pastor, David Dang!
