Camp Serve Day 1

Today at Camp Serve~~~

Us campers arrived at 8:30 eager for our first day of camp. We headed towards Hope Presbyterian Church in Richfield. Staff greeted us and welcomed us to come and enjoy some fun games such as" Ninja" and "Stand Up." We then headed to the Club Time to enjoy some worship. We sang songs and learned a bible story about a blind man that got his eyes oppened. Then we tried experiencing what it was like with our eyes closed and missed out on an awesome goat impression...

After worshiping we got into our color groups. Jacobs Well was with another church, Faith Covenent in Burnsville. We watched a video about being homeless in MN called "Land of 10,000 Homeless." We explored questions about how we think of homeless people and what we can do to help them out. We made turkey and cheese sandwiches (which many of our campers thought looked very good)  and headed out to the Simpson Shelter For Men. We gave them our sandwiches and got a tour. 

We luckily got to go back to Edgewater to change (instead of changing in a Port-A-Potty)  into our swimsuits and headed of to Lake Nikomis. We enjoyed some tasty lunch and olympic style games. Our purple group, (The Grape Skittles~ thought of by yours truely~ ) won two out of three games. (whoot whoot!!!)  Then we got three choices about what to do for Zone Time. Our group chose to go swimming (along with many others...)  We finished our day with "You Rocked My Socks Off" (simular to snaps), a interesting game of rock paper scissors..., and a round of Halleluiahs to God!

Jacob's Well Middle schoolers had an awesome day at camp serve. We look forward to tommorow!!
