Day Three, Part 2

It's the middle of free time and I just finished downloading a bunch of emails from you parents. I try to get the emails you send out to the campers within half a day. If you have sent an email to your child, be assured that they did receive it; the only reason they don't write back right away is that they are too busy having fun to respond to you.

While this has been a very fun camp so far, what is even more important is that the campers are learning new things about Jesus. Today, our speaker Mike talked about Speaking Up in the face of peer pressure and temptation to do things that don't honor God. He reminded us that Jesus was tempted by Satan to turn stones into bread, to bow down and worship the devil, and to jump off the top of the Temple. Each time Jesus spoke up using the Word of God to resist the Devil's temptations. We too can resist temptations to do wrong things by being filled with God's Spirit and allowing the Fruit of the Spirit to reflect that He is living inside us.

After morning chapel, the campers headed off to their Walk The Talk times and learned practical application of this morning's message. Following Walk the Talk, the campers went to their Unit Times where they did crafts, swam in the pool, or played games on the upper field. Lunch followed the unit time and after that, the kids had cabin kick back prior to starting free time. It can be pretty exhausting -perhaps I need a nap.
