Day Four – Speedboats, Waves, and Sand

 It is another sunny day for our campers, buddies, and staff. After a good breakfast, the campers attended J-Zone, a time of teaching, music, puppets, and drama.

Sue tells the story of Joseph as a slave in Egypt. 

A camper plays the role of Joseph in chains.

During J-Zone today, Bible Teacher Sue continued with the story of Joseph.  Sold to a man named Potiphar, an official of the Pharoah, Joseph was recognized for his education, leadership, and God’s favor on his life. Potiphar put Joseph in charge of his businesses and household.  But Joseph’s world crashed down around him, when he was falsely accused of attacking Potiphar’s wife.  Joseph was sent to a prison that was established to hold prisoners of Pharoah.  The prison warden recognized that Joseph had the favor of God on his life and was put him in charge of the prison. This is where we leave Joseph for now.

The campers were able to spend the afternoon on the waterfront, swimming, boating, and playing on the sandy beach.  The campers were able to skim across the water in the camp speed boat.  All were smiling broadly and laughing as the enjoyed the ride.

Today was the last day for fishing. Many campers surrounded the fishing hole in hopes of one more big catch. This hope became a reality for one of our campers, who reeled in a fish over 18 inches. He hold the largest fish record for our this camp's season.

This evening was a time for distributing awards. Each camper was given an award that reflect some of the things they enjoyed during camp, such as best zipline rider or bug box builder.  The evening ended on a happy note.
