Camp 4 Day 2

Today was the first full day of camp. We started with devotions at 7 followed by doing the girls hair at 7:30 and morning exercises at 7:50. Breakfast is at 8:15, which is followed by our Bible lesson time. Today's Bible lesson was about Gidean. The whole team joined in acting out the story. At one point Gidean ask for people to join his army and for doing so they recieved a balloon sword. It was meant that those who are in the skit would come forward, but rather half the kids ran to the stage. It made me laugh. But overall the lesson was very well done.

We did not go to the sea today because the the temperature is quite low. (High of 71 degrees). In the morning we practiced for the opening ceremony. and after lunch we played a few games. The first was a scavenger hunt, in which we got a clue and used that to go find a letter, then return for the next clue. After which we use all the letters and rearrange them to create the last clue, which leads to the prize. It was intended to last the better portion of 2 hours, but it was done in 30 minutes. So the team came up with some impromptu games to play for another 20 minutes, after which we were all out of ideas and gave the kids some free time.

After supper, was the opening ceremony. The camp theme is Heros. So the international team's name is "Heros with a Purpose." Each of the team members was dressed up as different super heros. Some more random and hilarious than real. And then they used this in a skit. The wards chose the names, Super Kids, Super Stars, Super Family, and Happy Teenagers (or something of that sort, I have been getting different translations for the last group all night and don't yet really know what their name is).

The Craft Tonight was God's Eye followed by handing out the Bibles to each of the kids, and then bedtime stories.
