Today was another fun packed day at YAA. Kicking it off with a hike to the top of a ridge and watching a beautiful sunrise! The morning hikes are a great way to get the campers up and ready for the day ahead of them. Although the number of hikers did dwindle as the week carried on and fatigue set in, we do have a couple persistant campers.
After finishing up breakfast, the campers were off to clean up their cabins in hope of winning the Grimmer Award. (The prize given to the cabin with the cleanist courters) Today was a special day, because we had a tie between The Fantastic Pink Squad and The Green Rubber Duckies.
Chapel followed the quick clean up and Pastor Jim talked to us about not leaving the straight and narrow path. Even though other routes look more appealing or safer, we have to remember to stick to what God has told us to do.
After that we went on to do our last morning skill builders. Campers went to either; arts and crafts, archery, or the climbing wall.
These were infact the last skill builders they have, because this afternoon when they usually would be at their second skill builder they were participating in the YAA Amazing Race! This race gave them opportunities to use the skills they were taught to perform different jobs. They did different things such as; building a fire, climbing to the top of the wall, or shooting a jug of water with a bow and arrow.
The games ended with a whole bunch of different water games. The soccer field had six different stations where campers would throw water balloons at eachother, and shoot water balloon sling shots throw hula hoops for points. The grand finally was an all camp water balloon fight and slip and slide.
In the end it was a water filled, fun packed day of camp! The kids worked and played hard all day, and with definitely be sleeping hard tonight! :)
Thank you for allowing me to counsel some of your children and get to run around with them having a blast!
