BYBC, and Horse Camp
|
Well during the 12-18th of July our church had Back Yard Bible Clubs. It was a lot of fun. In the mornings we would do service projects, and in the evening we would do clubs. On Monday we handed out BYBC
invitations, then we went swimming. Then we had clubs, we got to get to know the kids. On Tuesday we went to see a movie, then we helped out this art camp, and then we had clubs. On Wednesday we picked up trash on a highway, and the team I was with picked up a ton of packing peanuts. Then we went to my house and swam, it was my sister's birthday so we had some cake too. Then we had water day at the clubs, it was lots of fun!!!! On Thursday we cleaned books a a school, and went to someones house to swim. Then we had clubs, and one of the kids at our first club accepted Christ!!! Before I continue I want to let you know that before Thursday two kids had come to Christ ( which is great ) but then on Thursday around 9 kids came to Christ!!! Friday was our last day, we cleaned books at the school again, and we came to my house. Friday was another wet day, and two kids came to Christ at the first club, and at the second club another kid came to Christ!! It was great!!!! On Saturday we had Summerfest, it's like a big carnival, and they had a helicopter. I helped run the Velcro Wall, and the Firey Furnace ( Where kids spray you with water ), I also helped my sister and mom some with face painting. It was really fun.At the end they have these drawings and a lot of the kids that came to our club won!! It was a lot of fun. The next Monday I packed up and went to horse camp!!!! It was a little scary at first because I didn't know any of the girls going to the camp but in the end I made some pretty good friends. When we first arrived at camp we play a game to get to know the girls better, and then we had lunch. Then we got to pick out some electives that we would do every day. I picked out Horse ( Horseback riding ), music, and adventure, but only one other person signed up for adventure so we ended up doing 3/4 ( A beauty type class, it was fun!! ). That evening we did a counselor hunt and only one of the counselors was caught!!! Then we went to chapel, and had a lesson about Ester. The next day we did our electives, and then we went "swimming" on a big water slide. Every evening we did something different Tuesday we had the Clue Game, which is really fun. You have to for around asking people what they knew about a lost goat ( all part of the game ) and you would have to do something to get the information. After that we had supper and went to chapel, and learned about delight. The next day Wednesday was pretty much the same, we did electives, and went swimming, and a bug guy came and we caught different bugs and learned about them. While we were eating supper it started getting windy and we had to run inside we the wind got really hard. We stayed inside for a while, and then I went out to look for my swimming stuff ( Which had blown off of the rail ), while I was putting my swimming stuff up it started raining!!! I went back to the guest house ( Where the cooks made the food ) and waited to see what we would do about chapel. We ended up driving instead of riding the wagon ( which we had gone in the past two nights). At chapel they talked about trust.The next day we had the usual electives, swimming, and then we did our skits. It was really fun to do them, all of the skits were really funny!!!! :) Then we went to chapel, and learned about waiting. The next day we had electives, and swimming, but we also got to see Miss. Kneehigh. Then we went to pack up, while our parents came, and then we had some BBQ. After that we sang some song that we had sung in chapel. Then the people that were in the music class ( including me) did a choreographed dance to the song " Saddle Up Your Horses" which we had been learning most of the week. Then we sang " In Christ Alone", which we also learned during the week. After that I got all of the girls e-mails,got the new Camp Winchester shirt, and then went home. It as a tiring, but fun two weeks. |
