Camp Lakeside 2010 Day 1:

We made it! Today the kids arrived at camp and were greeted by our leadership team. We kicked things off by going over the rules for camp and then the kids headed off to the mud pit. We got some great shots! After the mud pit the kids went to get cleaned up and headed to dinner. I'm not sure what a crispito is but the kids said they were great. I'll take their word for it! After dinner we had a prayer time followed by our evening worship service. Our amazing camp pastor Derrick Campbell brought the message and set the tone for the week.

After worship the kids set out to find their family group leaders in a game called Secret Church. The kids got a little taste of what it might be like to be a believer over seas where the gospel is not welcome. The kids had to search the camp grounds for their leader and if they got caught by Ryan, Shelley or Robert they were sent to Jail where they had to wait for a teammate to bail them out. Once all the kids had found their groups they ending the evening with family group bible study. Don't forget to check our the video update (it will be up soon, I promise!) and pictures below.

It has been a long day but God is already at work here. What an amazing start to our week here at Camp Copass!
