Hey all!
Hannah here, back from youth camp!! If you didn’t go, you missed out!! On Monday, 18 of us headed to Philip Bongiorno Conference Center in Carlisle for a 4 day summer camp experience! The week was packed with crazy fun, quality relationships, and spiritual challenges!
The typical day looked something like this:
8:00am breakfast (french toast sticks! mm..)
9:00am devotions
9:30am “Drivers Ed” morning service
11:00am Bible quizzing (our passage for the week was 1 Corinthians 12)
12:00pm lunch (chicken nuggets!)
1:00pm team games (dodgeball, tug of war, pool games… you name it!)
5:00pm dinner (turkey!)
7:00pm night service with Mike Holt
11:00pm team games
Everything about the week was intense – spiritually and actively. The speaker for the week was Mike Holt – a hilarious Georgia boy! With his southern twang, crazy stories, and spiritual challenges, everyone left camp ten big leaps in their walks with the Lord! I lot of garbage was thrown out of students’ lives, and then replaced with an equipping of power and authority. Leaders and ambassadors were raised by the hundreds guys!! Praise the Lord for his very personal intervention!
The week was loaded with FUN. The 500 students that went were divided up into 16 teams. Twice a day, there would be team games and competitions to rack up the points. Games included tug-of-war, dodgeball, sharks and minos, and relays involving disorientation and garbage cans over your head (very hard to explain… find me and I’ll explain. I haven’t laughed this hard in so long!!)
There were plenty of other opportunities to win points though… Our rooms were checked everyday for cleanliness and decorations, and awards for best and worst were announced. The first day, my girls’ room won best room!! But then, to top it off, Tom’s room got worst!! haha… go CLA!! The week’s passage for Bible quizzing was 1 Corinthians 12 (on spiritual gifts). We did our best on to study up… but quizzing was definitely not our forte.. Tom’s team went from last place, good job boys! And I’m ashamed to say the girls teams got 13th and 14th place… boo hoo.
The afternoons were free time, yay! PennDel has so so so much to do! Of course a pool, golf course, volleyball, tetherball, four square, basketball, the works! A lot of us got go to Sports Emporium for one of the free time sessions and dominated in go carts and laser tag.
I had such a great time this week. You would be missing out if you don’t mark your calendars for this next year y’all!! Not only is it fun, but you are guaranteed to leave spiritually stronger and confident! Here are some shots from the week…
Have a great weekend everyone!! Turk team returns tomorrow!! Thanks for all your prayers and support!
