Week 5 Day 3

Posted by Gretna Glen on July 16, 2025

85 degrees/sunny morning and afternoon/scattered showers in the evening

Today the campers discussed how Jesus reaches out to us in the midst of our own fears and doubts because He can overcome all. "But Jesus immediately said to them: 'Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.'" -Matthew 14:27

This morning was the end of camp for MECA. After breakfast they had some time to pack before their Bible Discovery time and heading home. Climb On made their breakfast at the Ridge and then went bouldering here at Gretna Glen. They then had Bible Discovery before lunch. After Hours spent the morning sleeping. They woke up in time to enjoy lunch as their breakfast. After lunch After Hours I had water olympics, After Hours II had some time at high ropes, and Climb On had roll over. All of the programs then had their choice time where many of the campers chose to work on gimp in the craft cave. While the campers were at choice time we welcomed a new program for the second half of the week. Grown Up and Me arrived with time to unpack and tour camp before all of the programs came together for dinner. After dinner Grown Up and Me went to the craft cave then enjoyed the evening back at their cabin. Climb On had a pool party before spending some time in ZEEK followed by ice cream floats and a special nature craft. After Hours campers loaded on busses after dinner to head to Paramount for a night of fun and no sleep off-site. 

Day Camp began their day with morning worship, snack, and rec time. The younger campers then enjoyed the Imagination Garden and boating while the older kids had fun with Igloo cooler floats. After lunch they all had time on the waterslide and in the pool. Later in the afternoon the younger kids made cup launchers and the older kids had low ropes.
