SP 5 Recap

Hello!

Another camp week has come and gone, so it's time for a weekly recap! Overall, SP 5 was an awesome week. We had a lot of new churches in camp, and it was really rewarding seeing them learn what Mt. TOP is all about as the week went on. Here are some pictures of my weekly highlights:

Before

After

This banner was part of the worship we did on Monday. When the campers entered worship, the banner looked like it does in the photo on the left. Then after the message (which was on perseverance, Monday's theme) as a response the campers dipped their hand in paint and covered the word "trials" to symbolize pushing through times of struggles with God's help. Then the staff peeled off the tape I had put on the banner before I painted "trials" to reveal the word "faith" to show that when we persevere we grow in faith and become closer to God. It was one of my favorite worships this summer!

Since this past Thursday was 4th of July, we all dressed up in patriotic clothes for HUM Day. One of the camp rules is no fireworks, but the staff put on a "human firework show" where we all acted like different types of fireworks.

One of my jobs on Friday is to facilitate campfire. At campfire, campers perform skits, songs, poems, etc... that showcase the experiences they've been through during the week. We usually build a bonfire, but since it was raining, we had to have campfire in the Pavilion (but I did draw a fire as a substitute). 

One of my favorite parts of the week was when my friend Robyn, who was on my staff last year, came for a surprise visit! I was so excited to see her, and very blessed that she got to attend Friday worship. It's crazy how some many things have changed since last summer, yet it's so easy to fall back into a rhythm when you reconnect with old friends!

Finally, here's a picture of Friday night worship. It's definitely one of my favorite worship setting this summer!

That's it for now! On Wednesday, I return from break and begin preparing for my last week of campers. I can't believe that the summer is nearing an end. It seems like just last week I was arriving for training. Time certainly does fly!

All the best,
