Day 4

Today was AMAZING! IT was water day, la journee de l'eau. The kids came prepared for water. The morning was cold so it was a bit hampering for some activities, but it helped us in our sneak plan. Every year there is a big water fight and the adults ambush the kids. Well, some of the kids have been there for a few years and know it is coming. So, the cold weather helped us to convince the kids that the water fight was cancelled.

Before the day started, we had a plan of attack. This year, it was going to come from all sides. 1000 water balloons, and yes, that was the right amount of zero's. We had a traditional morning, sorry for the lack of photos, I had a fever and was out of commission for the morning. But, a good nap helped and though I think I still have it, it is much better.

The photos are taking longer than I thought to upload, so perhaps I will link them tomorrow. I got a lovely chocolate eclair for my birthday from the translator, Marie, it was amazing!

And oh, totally forgot for day 3- counselor games. Each afternoon we have counselor games. That day, we had an improv-off. Skot got picked to join, I wonder why? But he lost, Yukong was an excellent rapper, and Skot got "rock" but they took about 5 minutes to find him a song. Meanwhile, he freestyled and had some awesome crowd involvement. Awesome photos in the slide show. And afterwards, we had another game. I got volunteered for that one. We had shaving cream on our face (ouch) and our team mate had to throw cereal at our face. The person with the most cereal on their face won, and I won. It was fun, messy, and a bit sting-y.

Tomorrow is family day. Parents come out and do briefly the schedule the kids do to see what camp was like. Then we have a big bbq. We are expecting around 200-250 people total. Please keep this activity in prayer as this is a huge part of the camp outreach and family is very important to the french. ICCP staff use this day as a great way to forge relationships with the parents. They may never step into a church, but they can feel Christ's love through the relationship.

Anyways, photos to follow. Bon nuit.
