84 degrees/sunny/beautiful sunset and moon this evening

"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8  Today campers talked about how Jesus died on the cross so that people everywhere can know God's grace and love.

Today was the last day for TARF I campers. After breakfast they had Bible Discovery and a snack before their pool Olympics. After lunch they had time to pack before choice time and finished their afternoon with their group closing. TARF II started their day with Bible Discovery and then celebrated Christmas in July. They then played in the meadow and went boating before lunch. Anglers and Archers made their breakfast before Bible Discovery and then headed to archery. Youth Blast spent their morning traveling back from Camp Penn. After lunch, the overnight programs had roll over and choice time. This evening was full of adventure. TARF II had a scavenger hunt followed by prayer stations and their commitment fire by the lake. They ended the night with a night hike and stargazing. Youth Blast enjoyed flying squirrel (where they found a box turtle along the trail) and then made baked apples in the fire before their prayer labyrinth and outdoor movie night. Anglers and Archers cooked their dinner on the Ridge before spending time at the climbing tower. They then went to the prayer labyrinth and had their commitment fire before ending the day with a night hike and star gazing. 

Day Camp started their day with a little rec time. The younger kids then rotated through the Imagination Garden, boating, and ZEEC nature center and the older kids had a teddy bear picnic. After lunch they all enjoyed the pool and waterslide. Next was the younger kids' turn for a teddy bear picnic while the older kids went to the climbing tower and personal challenge course.
