Student Camp: Day Three

Student Camp is AWESOME! The Waters Edge Students have been amazing! I love getting to hang out with them for a week at camp.  Here are some highlights of day three...

• Everyone is getting a little noobly. According to Camp Vocabularity (which we learn each morning0 noobly is when your head and neck bounce when you are falling asleep sitting up.  Students have been great, but getting a little noobly happens to the best of us.
• Volleyball. Waters Edge Students have won the volleyball tournament the last three years at camp. There name each year is the Ferocious Chinchillas.  Now volleyball is a big deal to us because we lose in the first round of every other sporty tournament.  This year a team of 6 girls and 2 guys made easily to the finals.  In the finals they were pitted against a group of entire guys. They played their hearts out. The Camp Director announced that in 11 years of him watching the sports tournaments this was the most intense volleyball final he's ever seen.  In the end Waters Edge lost 29 to 27.  I was so proud of our Students. They prayed with the other team before the game. Congratulated them afterward and had amazing attitudes.  It's not easy to lose with grace but these students did. They fought hard and made me proud.
• Some of our students took part in the "studio". It's a place to be creative. Some of our students have made some amazing art and paintings while hanging out in the studio.
• It's a really big deal for Rob to know every student's name. Students ask me almost hourly if I know their name.  I'm trying but I don't have all 107 of them down.  I have one more day to get em all.
• Lots of questions are being asked. On day three we focused on who do you say Jesus is.  In our church group time we discussed how we tell people who we really think Jesus is by the way we live our lives. We had some good discussion.
