Friday Around Camp

Friday Night

After breakfast, morning chapel was a time of worship through music and then each church met together for “church time.” Saint Matthew was in Memorial Chapel and we spent our time sharing how we encountered God this week along with communion.Friday’s rec. was the “Great Race” which was a series of challenges all around Ponderosa Camp. Two of Saint Matthew's teams placed in the top five.Free time was spent boating on the lake, swimming at the pool and cove, volleyball and a few rousing games of cards on the deck.After dinner was the annual Seniors vs. Staff Wiffle Ball game on the lower lawn. Friday’s chapel was our last chance to worship together with this year’s band, Love Lite, the awards for rec. and the coveted first place team T-shirt won by Team Booya (which included a cabin of girls from Saint Matthew). We also heard Chuck Bomar's last chapel message on "Remembering God." After chapel we went up the hill to Victory Circle.At Victory Circle, students shared three words to describe the victories they’ve experienced this week in their lives. It’s a powerful and meaning experience hearing students share how they’ve come to faith, been challenged by God and how they hope to be different people when they head down the hill tomorrow morning.Well it’s off to cabins and our last cabin group, tomorrow morning, it’s up early, packing, breakfast and loading the buses for our journey back to the Creek.~PD et al.

Thursday Around Camp

Thursday Night

This morning began with early morning worship through music in Ponderosa Chapel and we watched a mission video that the directors of Hume's Middle & High School camps filmed down in Haiti this Spring. In the video and through discussion/prayer we were challenged to be missionaries wherever God calls us.Thursday's recreation was "Super Spirit Day" with the theme of "Red, White & Blue on You." The rec. games were four wild relay races on the upper lawn with triple spirit points.During afternoon free time, there was a basketball tournament in the Ark (Saint Matthew's team of David Bridges, Drew Downing & Matt Trowbridge took second), the Art Kart on the lower lawn, along with the boating on the lake, swimming in the pool and card games on the "Hume-N-Beans" deck.After dinner was the counselor gauntlet (a competition where Wipeout meets Gladiator) where Saint Matthew was ably represented by Drew Eldred & TJ Hurst.Thursday evening, our speaker, Chuck Bomar, shared that each of us have "giants" in our lives and the one that most of us have is guilt & shame...and often that "giant" separates us from God. We often confuse faithfulness with perfection and when we fail at being perfect we feel guilt & shame. Chuck challenged us that when the Holy Spirit "convicts" us of or sin, we should run to the cross rather than feeling guilt & shame.At the end of the evening Chuck challenged students to pause and reflect where they’re at and if they needed to reconnect with God to stay behind and spend some time in prayer.After evening chapel was open camp: with skating in "The Ark," a skate competition at "The Skate Park" (won by Emmit Kavert from Saint Matthew) and Open Mic on the "Hume-N-Beans" deck.~PD, et al.
