2nd Camp
Hi guys. We leave today at 6:30pm. This Camp has been nothing short of awesome! Pat has so connected with our kids and our theme of living in “His Space.” He has helped them to see that the persecution they are subjected to at school is a testament to their faith and living in “His Space.”
We had a gully-washer of 2 and half inches hit us last night as we were holding our final evening devotional. We lost some of our late night activities we had planned but we were able to carry out our 11pm devotional / pizza party for the high school boys and girls in the basement of the girl’s cabin. This basement runs the length of the cabin and could hold 75 to 100 people.
Camp Ithiel has been a blessing from God to me, Steve, the rest of our staff, and our kids. We would love to come back here next year and continue in this “legalism – free” environment.
I thank you for you prayers for they have been answered. I’ll post some more camp pics. Love you guys.
Pat Pugh breaking the Word of Life to our kids.
Steven and his friend Zack (on the right) leading a skit and in the process doing a parody of me. Zack was pretending to be me as I read the boys the riot act for an unauthorized attempted swim across the lake.
The "Pepperdine Cabin" of high school boys. Steven is in the middle (orange hat) bumping fists with his other good friend Matthew. 
Our popular “Gunk-ball game.” This consists of 3 pools for bases. 2 of the pools are filled with water and baby shampoo. The plastic field is covered in water and baby shampoo. The home plate pool is filled with “gunk” which includes chocolate syrup, maple syrup, corn flakes, flour, noodles, and other various condiments. To score a run one must slide head first into the gunked up pool. Anyone interested?
The whole purpose of Camp - to plant seeds for Christ. Sometimes those seeds develop at Camp as in this young man being baptized into Christ.

Ray teaching on Tuesday on being “afraid in His Space.” His robot is a young lady in our youth group, Kirsten. Kirsten does an excellent robot so he called her “Ker-bot.” “Ker-bot” performed all of his commands perfectly until he taped a sign on her, which read, “Free Will.” When he commanded “Ker-bot” to take a drink she threw the water on the campers. It made for a great object lesson.
Finally, here is our camp picture - 90 campers and 30 staff. God is good.

Doesn't camp Ithiel allow you to go ahead and book this week for next year? Seems they would want to do that for both parties involved. Why do they kick you out on Thursday night instead of Saturday morning?
