This was Tuesday night. A huuuuuuge hit! Sorry the pictures are so blurry. Your kids were moving so much faster than my phone!

This is one of the rarest sights you’ll see at Camp Idlewild–counselors enjoying free time. From the time you drop them off on Sunday afternoon, these counselors spend a LOT of time with your kids. They get one hour every day during Bible classes to do their own thing, then it’s back to work. They work hard and have a lot of fun. I’m very thankful for their desire to serve.

We managed to get our hayride finished and everyone back to their cabins before the rains came (too busy to take pictures). Tomorrow night: square dancing. Hopefully we won’t be rained in all day.

Lunch is over. Time for noon activities: sports, rifles, archery, canoeing and, of course, swimming. As long as the rain holds off.

Here are some pics from this morning’s Bible classes.

The kids were up bright and early this morning. Every day starts at the flagpole where we sing crazy songs and move around enough to work up an appetite for breakfast.

The kids are in their cabins for the night. Lights out has come and gone. They’ll have a hard time going to sleep tonight, but it will get easier as the week goes on.

We had our scavenger hunt tonight. Always a great way to get them interacting as a cabin.

Tomorrow we hit the ground running with songs at the flagpole at 8:00. I hope none of you will harbor any resentment if they come back to you seeing a variety of bizarre tunes.

I know you like pictures of your kids more than my rambling. I’ll do better tomorrow.

Remember us in your prayers. Having a blast so far.

Hello, all. Just stopping by to make sure I can still post from my phone.

Our camp is just two days away! We’re prepping furiously. I’m throwing in a picture of our dining room table as proof (And to make sure I can still post photos). We have some of our classic activities planned, as well as some new ones. I can’t wait to see old friends and make some new ones.

See y’all at 4 on Sunday!
