The whole family went to Treasure Mountain Youth Camp again this summer and had a blast!
The theme for this year was "Do All For The Glory Of God." I think the kids certainly did their best to live out that theme in everything they did.
They did team-building exercises (get your whole team across the lava!)
had team competitions (who can dress their counselor in the best toilet paper suit?)
Did art projects
Got to know each other

and made their own music.

This year, we had the added blessing of Rebecca's Dad, Scott, with us. He helped manage the kitchen...
and the little ones whenever he could. :)
One of the highlights was the water day. They played a whole bunch of games like picking up marbles from the pool with their toes and bringing them back to a bucket.
Then they had to fill a bucket by passing a cup with holes in it over their heads to the back of the line.
Another one was to stick as many cheese balls to the head of their partner
who was wearing a shower cap covered in shaving cream.
Of course, it eventually devolved into an all-out shaving cream war.
No one was safe.
The casualty count was high.
and some got it worse than others. :)
We had made plans for a second water day that involved a redneck waterslide, but the weather didn't cooperate. it rained a good bit this year, with one day seeing more than 6 inches of rain! Good thing we were at the top of the mountain! :)
But fortunately, the skies cleared and we were able to have a fire on the last night.
I mean, what's camp without marshmallows, right?
Right!
