Day Two- Swimming And Splashing And Having A Good Time…

We have a theme song for Royal Family Kids’ Camp.  The song starts out this way, “Heading for the Royal Family Kids’ Camp, heading for a lot of fun. It’s great just knowing I am a part of God’s family, playing under the sun. swimming and splashing and having a good time….”  We definitely lived up to the part about “swimming and splashing and having a good time.”  Swimming at the lake is a part of the daily schedule and it was a hot day, which made it all the more enjoyable. 



Tonight we had a pop quiz from resident worm  Larry Funzel.  Earlier in the day, we’d learned about how Joseph had been treated badly and had been neglected by his family. Each question Larry put forth was met with the correct answer for the campers. The Joseph story is one of which our campers can relate.  Those who are familiar with Joseph’s story know that he has had many highs and lows throughout his life. But ultimately those experiences enabled Joseph to become one of the most respected Egyptian rulers.  We’re hoping Joseph’s story will bring hope and encouragement to our campers, who too have experienced many highs and lows in their lives.



Our night was capped off by a concert given by The Waiting Kind. The campers immediately connected with the band and the message of the music.   We’re thankful to The Waiting Kind for traveling a long distance to share their music and message of hope with us.
