Wacky Wednesday

It's Day Camp and it's mid-week... which means it's Wacky Wednesday.  Here are some photos from our past few sunny warm days!

I'm Div'n In

It is that time in the summer when it feels like everyone is settling in.  We have five weeks under our belts.  The camp routine has become familiar and the staff is serving well together.  They continue to dedicate themselves to the ministry and sacrifice their time, energy and talent to serve our campers and guests. 

Sometimes it can be a little scary.  Other times it is exhilarating.  Often times it is a combination of wild, crazy and incredibly intense.  But every time, it is a beautifully unique opportunity to serve God by serving people.  To give value and worth to the campers and each other.  To spend every waking moment (and while we are sleeping too) worshipping God as we live life together here at Arrowhead.

James Who?

It is crazy to think that we have started week 5 of the summer!  We are over a month in and things are ramping up.  Our James Project groups have been great.  Each one is strikingly different than the others.  We have other ministries, non-profits, church groups, family groups and student ministries.  They bring big smiles, great attitudes, fresh energy, letters of encouragement to the staff, hearts & hands ready to serve and sometimes... goodie bags!

Here's a photo from one of our James Project groups that does a tremendous job of training leaders through athletics.

It's Summer!

Campers arrived yesterday.  It is already week 3 of the summer!

From Finish to Start

Staff Training as come to a close and today is the first day of camp for summer 2013.  Here are some intense photos from staff training... initiative course team building and mini golf & milkshakes night.

Lions and Tigers and Beds, Oh my!

Well... no lions and tigers.  But, we do have beds.  108 brand new beds to be exact.  And... if you are going to put new beds in the cabins you might as well paint the walls, ceilings and floors, install new windows on the front and buy new mattresses too.

Check out the upgrades to our camper cabins.  They are ready to go for this summer!

Before & After

The new Pontoon Paddle Boats have arrived!  Here's a before and after shot.  Thanks to all of our investors who made this project possible.  Our new boats EXCEED EXPECTATION!
