Camp Dynamite!

I spent this week at Epworth by the Sea in St. Simons Island, GA with our middle school camp. My role was to provide the morning and afternoon recreation time.

We had over 215 kids from our church attend between the 5-8 grades. I had a lot of fun getting to know them.

We played some crazy games (some pics to come later). There was the human snowman in which each team covered a camper in shaving cream. We had a sloppy slip and slide that had milk, syrup, salsa, soap and a bunch of other nasty stuff for the kids to slide on. The worse part of the whole week was cleaning that mess up!

I also put together a regular slip and slide one afternoon. At other times the campers actually bobbed for vienna sausages out of baked beans (disgusting!) and followed that up immediately with picking gummy bears out of a pile of flour.

It wasn't all sloppy games. We played a bunch of large group games and gave them some free time to play what the wanted....which always seemed to include dodge ball!

Next week I head back to the same camp grounds for our 3-4 grade camps. It is called Bible Boot Camp and should be fun as well. It will be better just because Carrie can go along with me.
