Tuesday Night Late Night!!


To wrap up our last night of camp, each team gets the chance to perform their very own one-of-a-kind skit that they've put together over the last couple of days!

The pictures for these skits are HILARIOUS and my attempt to recreate them here will certainly not do them justice, but because I DO want share lots of pics along with their "stories," I'll be waiting to post them tomorrow! 

(I mean, you peoples back home have probably been asleep for HOURS by now anyways! So now it's our turn to call it night and catch a wee bit of shut eye!)






Wait!! What?! Don't move! Is that a BLENDER we hear?? 

Just when we’d thought we’d made it through a whole camp without it!


Welcome to the stage Devaughn for the Rednecks and Hunter for the BB Blues…





Luke for the Quack Pack and sweet little Kaytlin for the Green Dolla Hollas!






Oh! And Alexis! You’re a SENIOR! It’s your LAST chance! 



Just kidding!!




So this camp’s blender contains all the sweet yumminess from Sunday night’s food challenge…Pink frosting (with sprinkles!), marshmallows, lemon pudding, chocolate, syrup, Yoohoo…AND, just for good measure, a jar of minced garlic along with a can of sardines!



May the best JSM'er win!





First to finish was Luke - Quickly followed by Devaughn!


Next, Kaytlin tags out...

 


 ...with Jakin (in a tutu)…



…Who tags out with little Andrew…








While Hunter finishes what he started!






…But as Andrew tags out with Sayvon to bring it home! 





Wow!!!! THAT was a gross one! (And according to our Senior blender veterans, by FAR the worst ever!)

Tuesday Night Session

A night of worship...








...And summing everything we've been talking about 
here at camp in one statement -
You can do lots of GREAT things in life, but without the GOSPEL and a story that points to CHRIST instead of yourself you’re just a good humanitarian.


Points Update!


After all the points have been tallied from this afternoon and we've had a change in the standings!

The BB Blues - 503,000
The Green Dolla Hollas - 517,300
The Rednecks - 546,900
The Quack Pack - 584,200

But tonight's the night...TONS of points at stake at Late Night...And ANYTHING could happen!


Tuesday Afternoon Rec!!

Okay...So crazy thing up here in the mountains at camp..It rains in the morning, it rains in the late afternoon, and it rains at night, but both yesterday and today, it's gotten nice and sunny (but not hot!) just in time for us to go outside and get WET at rec! Craziness!!

Getting ready...






Game #1 - Splat! (Wet dodge ball) - Typical rules apply with the added catch that before throwing the koosh balls each time you must first run to the middle (danger zone!) and re-soak it!












Round 1 Results:
4th - The BB Blues
3rd - The Green Dolla Hollas
2nd - The Rednecks
1st - The Quack Pack

Round 2 Results:
4th - The BB Blues
3rd - The Green Dolla Hollas
2nd - The Quack Pack
1st - The Rednecks



Game #2 - Stealing Water – All the times are trying to fill up their own container while also “stealing” water from the OTHER teams’ containers!













And finishing first in this game...The Quack Attack! Followed by the BB Blues, The Green Dolla Hollas and The Rednecks!


Wonder how all of this is going to change up the points standings?? Going into these games there was less than 30k separating 1st and 4th!!



Tuesday Morning Games!


Yeeeehaaaawww!! Our caffeine fix has kicked in and we're ready to run wild! (Or even if we really just want to crash we better not because team points are on the line!


Steal the Bacon - This is JSM so we've put our own twist on an old favorite! For round 1, when their number is called, one student from each team runs to the middle, grabs a noodle and tries to knock the ball into another teams goal! (Every ball ball through a teams goal is a negative point.) Round 2 switches things up and the students are now trying to get the ball in their own goal for positive points!








The Results:
The BB Blues with -6
The Green Dolla Hollas with +10
The Rednecks with +14
The Quack Pack with +34
  


Barbarians – Look at all that gold in the middle! To earn points for their team students are racing to get as much “gold” to their team’s base while note getting tagged and sent to jail!
 







The Results:
The Rednecks with 86 pieces of gold
The BB Blues with 107 pieces of gold
The Quack Pack with 130 pieces of gold
The Green Dolla Hollas with 180 pieces of gold
