First Week Update


It’s been a great first week! On Friday, we wrapped up the week by going to George’s Island in Boston Harbor, where we played group games and explored the fort. We had a few unexpected things come up: since the island was under major construction, the only way to our camp site was to lead the entire group along with our equipment through a narrow pitch-black tunnel. Also, our assistant directors, Emily and Kam Ho, had to wait at church for the camp lunches to be delivered to us; and as a result, they missed two ferries and we had to go without both assistant directors for the entire morning.

More importantly, though, a lot of good bonding between counselors and campers occurred this week; and it looks like kids are having fun. For chapel, we’ve been following the faith-story of Gideon and the Israelites in the time of the judges. Through two fun skits and one slightly long sermon, we studied the theme that bad things aren’t evidence that God doesn’t exist, but rather God’s way of getting our attention.
