Day Two – Snow Day

 You know what they say about Idaho weather, if you do not like the weather, wait a couple of hours and it will change. It is not often you get snow in June, but when you do take advantage of it. Campers made good use of the snow buy grabbing one of the camp sleds and take a few runs down the hill.

Today, the Activity Center had a first ever tie die shirt station. Campers with tie die expert Darrell to create some colorful shirts.  We had some great designs by the time the campers were done.

Today during J-Zone, we learned about Joseph, who came from a blended family, and was his father’s favorite.  This favoritism caused a rift between Joseph and his brothers that could not mended. The family is torn apart when his brothers decide to sell him into slavery.  Just like Joseph, our campers’ family units have been dissolved and they are forced into new circumstances and different living situations. His story is one that is relatable to theirs.

 We were fortunate enough to have Christian rappers Dany Gray and Kurtis Hoppie give a concert for our campers tonight. The musicians brought a message of hope and encouragement. A part of their message is that each camper has a unique set of skills and life experiences -there is no one just like them. They should look for God’s call on their lives and work towards it. Do not be distracted from the path God has put you on and do not listen to detractors- follow your dreams.
