Now we have experienced a full day and I can give you a glimpse of life here.  We start early with team devotions, then morning exercise with boys or girls, followed by hair brushing / braiding etc with the girls.  Gretchyn is in much demand for her french braiding skills.  Barb only does pony tails.  After breakfast the kids and staff all go to the sea for most of the morning, since it gets too hot to be out in the sun by afternoon.  They play in the water and have activities on the beach.  Most of these kids have never been to the sea, and it is not far from camp, but it is a steep hike down and back.

Afternoons start with rest time for kids / planning for staff and then staff makes a trip to the ice cream store before we rest also.  We start early and go late, so everyone needs a rest!
Then we begin with worship and Bible Lesson, interest groups, evening meal, activity or large group game time, followed by craft time and then bedtime stories / sharing / praying in their rooms. So from 4-10 we are busy non-stop.

Some of you will recognize Melody Grace and Abigail leading exercise dance in the AM.

We are all supposed to wear nametags, but some don't follow directions well!  Actually, he didn't have one yet.

There are some free times where the kids can choose an activity.  Uno can be played in any language.




Each child receives an age appropriate Bible, which they love to read.

Even the adults want Gretchyn to braid their hair.
