The theme of the week was STORY. Each day, we went through the questions of what, why, who, how, and when of our story. As we examined different elements of story, we were challenged to figure out what our story is, why we're telling the story we're telling, who the characters are in our story, how we want our story to look, and when to start living that story.
In each day, we were given the opportunity to personally experience Scripture in some kind of way. The first day, we started off being banished from camp (like Adam and Eve) because we ate some candy we weren't suppose to on our first night. So we spent the day out in God's creation, doing activities and hiking a lot! The next morning, we woke up to "Manna" (like the Israelites in the wilderness), a.k.a. breakfast provided for us on the ground! Later that day, we saw the Christmas story on stage! The next day, we learned about what a sacrifice really looked like in Bible times (thankfully we didn't witness it). On another day, we ate a Passover dinner and the counselors continued to serve us by washing our feet. What a cool night! These are a few of many cool experiences that we were able to learn and grow from throughout the week.
And if you still don't believe we had an awesome time, check out these pics on the slideshow and the epic video during the mudfight!
