Hello hello!! Sorry it's so late, but that's how we roll here at camp! Early mornings, late nights!!
We've really had another great day here together! The students are ALL having a blast! They've been doing great working together in their rec teams and have been having some great discussion in their rap groups!
Worship's been an amazing time of really feeling the Spirit of God here with us...I always love looking over and seeing entire rows of our students with their eyes closed and hands lifted praising our God through song!
Our big activity today was obviously the high ropes course! We weren't sure how many of the students would actually participate, but we were blown away at the fact that EVERY student here gave 110% and at least TRIED every one of the challenges! It was so awesome to see the students who'd been telling us for weeks that they'd be too scared to do the high ropes course actually get up and give it a shot and almost all of them finishing!
One of the elements we did today was the climbing wall...
Two other elements involved climbing a 40' pole and then basically tightrope walking over to the main platform before belaying back down...

Two other elements involved climbing a 40' pole and then basically tightrope walking over to the main platform before belaying back down...
One of these elements had vertical ropes spaced along the way to hold on to as you crossed...
And the other had a horizontal rope on either side of you so it was like walking across a bridge...
The most interesting element was called "The Pamper Pole"...Here you would climb to the top of a pole, balance on top of the pole, and then jump off Superman style out towards a target ball that you wanted to hit...
And then of course there's the good ol' zip line! For most of the students, this was the "easy" element, but to others this one required the most courage!
Tomorrow's another busy day for us so I hope we can all get a good night's rest tonight! Please keep praying for us while we're away, but specifically tomorrow as the weariness of two days of camp begin to wear on us all!!
And for your viewing pleasure I leave you with a variety of pictures from our adventurous day!!

(Oh and please keep in mind that all of these pictures were taken with a zoom lens...You have no idea how high 40' up is until you're actually up there looking down!)
