Working hard ... or hardly working?
This year we have four of our college age teens working at the camp. Aaron, Ilene, Kaleb, and Kyla are all working on the camp staff. Aaron, Ilene, and Kyla are all working on the kitchen staff as well as serving as assistant counsellors. Kaleb is a cabin counsellor and also the Red Team Leader. Here are a few pics of them hard at work ... and play.
Here is a short video of Kaleb working hard to motivate his team and inspire them on to greatness!

Camp Audio
You can hear all the messages that the teens are hearing at camp if you go to www.pineridgeministries.org or follow this link: camp audio.
Monday Night
After the initial confusion that is usually a part of registering for camp, finding your counselor, and getting your luggage into your cabin, everyone met for dinner in the "The Bull Moose" (the dining hall). Afterward we had a few minutes of orientation that started with singing a verse of Jingle Bells in honor of all the snow we passed on the way up to camp!
After dinner the campers played a few rounds of big ball games, then had time to change for the evening service.
There's the red team...
and there's the blue team.Lots and lots of screaming, yelling, and cheering!
"Are We There Yet?"
Well, the road trip to camp was interesting to say the least. In fact, we probably don't need to say much, we'll just let these pictures tell the story! We will say that we are thankful that God brought us safely here, gave us great weather for traveling, and caused the whole trip to go very smoothly!

Off to camp...
Lord willing, the teens will be off to summer camp at approximately 5:30 a.m. tomorrow. Please pray for our trip that it will be safe and that the Lord would work in the hearts and lives of the campers this week. We hope to be able to post some pictures a couple of times during the week.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.

Youth Activity Night May 11th
We had a really great youth activity night last Sunday. Here is a recap of some of the highlights!
We started off the night with a rousing Paper/Rock/Scissors Tournament. Then to break up into tems we played the Barnyard Scramble. Each person drew a slip of paper out of the basket with either cow, donkey, or cat written on it. The idea is to be the first team to find all the members using only the animal noise you were assigned! Watch this short video to see the craziness!

The Marshmallow Tower Challenge
It was pretty funny that even though everyone groaned and acted really grossed out when they heard the rules of the Marshmallow Tower Challenge, not one person hesitated to jump right in!!! The rules: build the tallest tower of mini-marshmallows. The only adhesive material allowed: spit. These pictures tell the story!
1 to 100
This key to this game is speed writing. The goal is to be the first in your group to get the numbers from 1 to 100 written on your piece of paper. The tricky part is that there was only one pencil per group. If you roll a 1 or a 6 you get to steal the pencil and get writing!

We hope you will make it a priority to be at the next youth activity! Each time we meet we enjoy a great time of fellowship and are encouraged through each other's Christian testimonies, the efforts of the hosting families, and challenges from God's Word. If you missed the parent/teen activity on Saturday night you will just have to come to the next one to see what it's like because we forgot our camera--it's a shame, too, because there were some pretty hilarious things going on! See you Wednesday night!
