Teen Camp Highlights

Beach Time
Sacandaga has access to a wonderful lake! The kids got to go kayaking, tubing, swimming, canoing. Our kids learned that if there are 4 in a canoe, 3 of you cannot lean in one direction.
Cressalyn, 2nd from left, Jordan, 4th and Nate, 5th competed in this year's Fear Factor. The first round was Grass Jelly. Cressalyn was out. The second round was jack fruit. The third round was kim chi. (If I'm spelling that right.) That's spicy rotten Japanese cabbage. The 5th round was pushing a player on a scooter into a pile of cardboard boxes. The final round came down to our Jordan and Nathan! Pastor Jim brought out 2 real....once alive....well, you will have to ask Nathan and Jordan yourself if you want to know! I seriously gagged my way through videoing the round! In the end, Jordan was crowned the champion of Fear Factor! He was awarded a huge bag of candy! Just what his stomach needed!
MeLisa & Cressalyn. Megan is MeLisa's sister. Kenny is Cressalyn's brother. Shall I explain the connection?
Jordan was going to participate in paintball but due to an unfortunate accident in which he sprained his ankle, he wasn't able to. So he let Cressalyn (in yellow) borrow his gear and she and Brandon (in blue) competed. Unfortunately their pump action guns weren't much of a match for the semi-automatics they faced. During Thursday's round Nathan shot Cressalyn in the head. Doesn't that just sound horrible?
These kids are awesome! Jessie spent a lot of time napping! She's not accustomed to late night activities and action filled days! This was Jordan's and Brandon's first camp experience. They are SOOO looking forward to next year! And in case you are wondering, each of these teens expressed a deeper understanding of God from their time at camp!

Wow, what a week!
