A note from Lexi G. from cabin 1

The week is almost over and we are ready to see our parents but also don't want to leave.

Dancing Through Life

Dancing for the musical has been going so well!  I'm having a blast working with Jennifer, Clark, Jessica and Nick, creating a musical that will challenge both the older and younger campers.  At any point in time, during the day, I can see my older campers practicing my choreography and trying to pick up my "jig step."  I'm so pleased with progress we are making and the fact that we have made 10th grade boys dance successfully!!!! :)

God's blessing to you all.  I'm so proud to be on staff this year at EYMC.

Goats, Goats, Goats

On Wednesday, we went to see the goats.  We got to feed and brush the goats, then we herded them over the field and played with them.  We learned that goats are very smart.  They are coordinated.  They can walk on logs!  They have great night vision because of their square tyes.

Goats are cool.

Rain in and around cabin 3

Yes, it did rain last night.

About 4 in the morning the sky was lit up with flashes from distant lightning.  The wind picked up and blew through the cabin and some things fell with a crash.  After closing the front door and windows so the rain would stop coming in, the storm did its thing without bothering us.   Most people didn't even notice, and if they did they went right back to sleep.

It was all done in time for chapel so we were able to have chapel at the stage as normal.

Now off to the rest of the day!

Exploring Faith

During Exploring Faith campers wrote some prayers they can use when they feel frustrated.

Some of the campers wanted to share their prayers...

Points of Interest (aka  PoI) at lunch just before the White Sock Awards were given.

[We don't use the word 'announcements' as that leads to singing the (long) Announcement Song... not a good thing when we are trying to move along]

The White Sock Award (three given yesterday) goes to the cabin(s) that are the cleanest and tidiest as judged by our official and well experienced judge.

It was a tough competition as everyone's cabins were in excellent condition.  The judge had to consider the councilor's area as well in order to determine winners.
