We Survived!

Well, we just finished our first week of summer camp, whew! This first one is usually pretty small, only 782 inPonderosa, 383 in Meadow Ranch, 209 in Wagon Train and 66 in Wildwood. Of course, that's still a wopping 1,440 kids coming to hear about Jesus. It's so fun to watch it all come together. Pondy and Meadow have a robot theme this year called "Rise of the Kinematics". Kinematics is the study of motion with no consideration for the cause of it. The speakers are preaching on core doctrines to combat the purely experiential and emotional christianity of today. Wildwood is taking it's own spin on that, there theme is called "Core" and is based on the beatitudes in Matthew 5-7 to hit the students who are already believers. Hume SD (at Point Loma) starts on Monday so that will add a whole new camp. They will run all the same openers and rec as us with a different setting. They will also be taking advantage of the beach, Mexico and other local opportunities. For more info see humelake.org and wildwoodblog.blogspot.com. One of my absolute favorite parts of the week is the dessert at Wildwood on Friday nights! It's called Pizzookie! A sheet pan size chocolate chip cookie with ice cream piled on top delivered in song and dance. And this year they really stepped it up with corresponding video, lights, and a star studded cast including Mandy Moore, Michael Bolton, Carlos Santana, Neopolean Dynomite, Britney Spears and Magnum PI! It's a MUST SEE if you live at or are visiting Hume at all this summer! Well, I finally get to see Rich again, so I better wrap this up. Sorry there's no pictures.
