What a beautiful day for sailin', fishin', zippin' and a magician?! Throughout the week we will be sharing with you all the great adventures the kids go on, showcase activities, fill you in on all the highlights and as much of the camp experience we can cram in a few paragraphs. Here's a few highlights from today!
#1 : The Sailboat
For some this is the very first time these kids have been on a boat and what an amazing day for it too! It's always fun to see kids conquer fear as they step out boldly to the front of the boat!

Highlight # 2: The Biggest Catch of the Day
One of the cool new activities as of this year is fishing! We got 300 fish loaded into the camp pond for the kids to catch during their activity time. Girls and boys pulling in fish for the first time and having a little competition as well. One camper told me he caught 2 and a half fish... Not entirely sure where the other half went but he sure was excited (turns out he caught two fish, hook a third and his friend helped him fully bring it in for a complete catch haha). Today the camper below reeled in this beaut.

Highlight # 3: The "Scariest" Catch of the Day
While some catch fish, others catch bugs. While some catch bugs, others catch SNAKES! Multiple snakes were caught today. All of which (that we are aware of) were released before bedtime. Many kids make bug boxes up here at camp. The cool thing about these boxes is that they aren't limited to bugs. In fact, if they are well put together with the right amount of staples, they function pretty nicely as a prison for a snake.

Highlight # 4: The Magician
Don't worry he wasn't allowed to make any kids disappear, but he had some mind-blowing tricks for the kids. Some of the staff and buddies were trying to make sense of the tricks up into the midnight hours in cabin five. He stumped many with this trick below as one of the campers laid on a table only for him to remove the table's legs leaving it suspended in the air. He also gave a great message of the gospel, ministering to the hearts of the kids.

| Oh, oh it's magic... |
Highlight # 5: Superheroes invade RFKC
Two things the kids also love, which we might showcase more throughout the week, is dress up and the zip line! Today we got to see a little Thor runnin' around, a couple Spidermen, football players with pads and helmets, princesses, Elsa, superheroes and more. Here's a shot of one superhero ridin' the zip!

| Hang in there man, this world needs your help! |

Tuesday's behind the scenes
THE BIG SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY IS TOMORROW!!!! Buddies take time to pack their kids' boxes full of gifts bought and donated by people from all over. Here's a shot of one of the buddies getting ready in one of our top secret cabins which protects all of the top secret gifts for the kids.

| Boxes awaiting tomorrow's destiny |
I believe that's all we got for today. Continue to pray for the kids, buddies and staff. We value and are strengthened by all of your prayers and support!!!
