Thrilling Thursday!
Battleship H2O
Middlers, Water Adventurers, and Night Owls played a game of Battleship H2O in the pool last night. The game involves two canoes which will both have 3 campers inside. The canoes will be brought next to each other while the campers use buckets and sponges to frantically pour water out of their canoe and into their opponent’s. The game lasts until one of the boats capsizes.
Here is a look at each team’s activities today.
Discovery
Discovery campers had a busy day today with a Bible study, shooting slingshots, a hot dog cookout for lunch, playing four square, swimming, and shooting archery.

Pirate campers built rockets out of empty bottles and launched them over PJ meadow. They had time for swimming and slip n slides in the afternoon and a scavenger hunt for treasure in the evening.

After returning from an overnight campout in PJ Meadow, Lewis Pioneers spent time on the water this morning by kayaking around Frog Pond. They also swam, had a Bible study, and worked together to complete the challenge course.
