It's been a great first week here at Hidden Pines Ranch. We started the summer on Monday with two wonderful days of Staff Training. We have a very talented staff of 30 this year. Keep checking the blog to learn more about our summer staff. Each week we will feature 4 or 5 members of staff in the blog.
We kicked off camp on Wednesday and everyone jumped right in. We sang many songs down at flag with the (camp) famous Debbie! We then had horseback riding, canoeing, soccer, archery, and tennis. We also made s'mores, learned a song by The Beatles, got to talk with God in nature and build slingshots in our science area!
Our "Thursday Thunderstorm" changed our morning lessons into some really creative and fun rain day activities. We told stories and learned how to make it sound like it's raining indoors with just our hands and some imagination!
Friday was Jesus Jamboree Day. We all dressed up as characters from the bible for drop-off in the morning. We all got to do Bible Charades, a Bible treasure hunt, fish for men and women. Everyone also built walls for a Battle at Jericho and slung rocks at Goliath. We used our giant colored parachute to play Jonah and the Whale. When we went to the feet washing station, we grabbed marbles with our toes and raced them back to buckets so our next team member could have a chance. We also participated in an "all camp" sports relay race which was a ton of fun!
