MAN CAMP.

Tonight is MAN CAMP. The rest of the Res girls left on their trip this afternoon, leaving to places like Miller's Cove, Pleasant View, and Riverview. We passed this group of girls on the channel - they were having so much fun!

But now, it's MAN CAMP - where all of the guys - counselors and campers alike, go crazy with build your own pizza dinner, extreme finger jousting, and a classic HoneyRock game: Outpost (but that's it's own blog post!). Tomorrow, they worship together with MAN CAMP camper worship, where the song "Jesus Freak" can be heard from all parts of camp.

Here are some pictures of our Res guys in their activities earlier today:

Tomorrow we'll focus on Advance Camp and what they have been up to these past couple of days - girls back from trip, activities, worship, high ropes...they've been busy!

A Look Around Camp

Today we're just going to take a quick look around camp and see what everyone is up to. If you want to see more pictures, visit the Res Camp or the Advance Camp photo pages - Advance Camp was updated yesterday and Res Camp today!

Res Camp: The older Res Camp boys left yesterday on their two night wilderness trip, while the younger boys packed out this morning. They will all return tomorrow after lunch! The girls leave on their wilderness trip early next week, but tonight they celebrate "Women's Night", as all of the guys in Res Camp are out on trip. The girls will have a cake decorating contest as well as a time of fellowship in Chrouser. Pictures of this event to come Monday!

Advance Camp: Advance Camp women are still out on trip! We're excited to welcome them back into camp tomorrow. We just saw the Advance Camp men pull into camp after a long day rafting on the Wolf River. Tomorrow, they will make the much needed laundry run into Eagle River. This Monday and Tuesday Advance Camp groups will take turns at the High Ropes Course, working together to complete the elements.

2:22: We haven't heard much from 2:22, but that's a good thing! They have been doing well out on trip, working their way up and down trails and rivers. This was taken right before this group got in a van to get to their starting point. 

Service Team: Service Team spent last night in Three Lakes watching the fireworks. Today marks the last day of this week's job rotations, which vary from on camp to off camp kinds of work. We have seen them helping at out at the barn, putting on a new roof, chopping wood, starting kayak races at Olympic Fest...the list is endless! We're so thankful for how they serve camp.

Assistant Counselors: Week one of the first Res Camp session is almost done, and the Assistant Counselors are still going strong! The men are out on trip as the women prepare for "Women's Night" with their campers. They are all doing a great job leading their campers in Cabin Impacts, Camper Worship, Activities, and other aspects of HoneyRock. We're proud of the work and growth they are experiencing!

Visit the blog tomorrow to see a brand new addition to camp!

Boys & Buck-Buck

Let us introduce you to a classic HoneyRock game played only after church at Cathedral Pines. It's a game that requires skill, strength, and precision: Buck-Buck. The Advance Camp guys, with the help of Activity Staff, started up wild game of Buck-Buck in their Sunday best. People gathered on the lawn to watch them build their human pile higher. For those of you who are not familiar to the process, we'll explain.

Step One: Make a good base. Ben, Isaiah, and Kurt link to make a solid start.

Step Two: Stack 'em higher. Advance Camp guys take running leaps to launch themselves onto the pile. 

Step Three: Just keep stacking. Korey, Advance Camp counselor, tops the pile.

Advance Camp guys are in camp for the week and will be busy in activities, worship, large group games and Bible Studies. On Friday, they will take a trip to the Wolf River and go rafting.

Advance Camp girls are packing out at the Trip Locker to leave on trip this afternoon. They have all of their food, tents, tarps, sleeping bags, and other camping necessities packed and ready! Here we have a couple of cabins with their "before" pictures. We can't wait to hear the stories that come back with them from being in the wilderness for five days!

 

 We'll have the final pictures of Intro Camp and updated pictures of Res Camp, Advance Camp and 2:22 on our photo site later this afternoon - use the links to the right to find the page!

Update: Pictures will be posted tomorrow - we're editing and processing now. Thank you for your patience!
