Pre-teen 1 Sunday evening

Registration is always a busy time, but this year we had some extra visitors. King Ahasuerus arrived by horse to wander the grounds of the ancient city of “Shusan”. Servants were on hand to provide cookies and smiles to all those who were registering!

Following camp registration, everyone was assigned to their cabins and met their counselors for the first time. New friends and great fun! After supper, we moved straight to our achievement programs for lessons in first aid, backpacking, archery, water safety, knot tying and many more. We then headed to chapel to find out about King Ahasuerus and our program for the week.

Our speaker, Art Manning, introduced us to the story of Esther, using a chalk and blacklight drawing to talk about Pride and Humility! He also introduced us to one of our verses of the week: 2 Chronicles 20:9. “If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.” More to follow tomorrow...
