Fruit Hoops

Fruit Hoops is our newest camp activity.  We are hoping it's popularity will rival that of Camper-Counselor Kickball.

For those of you movie buffs.... Yes, we did think about calling it Camp Quidditch, but we didn't want to be trendy by riding the coattails of a franchise.  That and the balls we use for this game could be mistaken for a variety of giant fruits (super-polyploids if you will).

Our campers enjoyed their first round of Fruit Hoops yesterday.  We can't wait to introduce it to our campers throughout the summer.

A Typical Week With Not So Typical Guests

We just wrapped up our first typical week of Shepherds Camp.  We call it a typical week because unlike our One-to-One sessions, during our typical sessions counselors have more than one camper.

This past week we had some very exciting special guests.  It was great to have Dean & Friends back again.  This was Pastor Dave's first time chalk drawing for Shepherds Camp.  But it wasn't his first time at Arrowhead.  He reminisced with the campers about being here as kid, where God used chalk drawing to change his life.

The Wheelchairiot

That's right... it's a chariot for wheelchairs!  Now all of our campers can enjoy Pedal Carts at Arrowhead.  A huge thank you to our friends from Liberty Baptist in Virginia Beach!  As part of their week long missions trip to Arrowhead this spring they funded the making of the Wheelchairiot.  And a big thanks to our friends from the local metal shop who took the Wheelchariot from a drawing on paper to a safe, accessible and fun activity that has kicked off our first week of summer camps with a bang.
