Intermittent showers on Tuesday kept dampening every one's plans, but fortunately the rain broke long enough for some cabins to get a chance to go for a swim like these guys. Camp is located on the banks of the illustrious Upper White River Millpond, and it is thankfully pretty warm this time of year - it helps make swimming pretty enjoyable for the campers! While Fledgling and Peewee campers are required to stay in the shallow end because there isn't enough time in the week to give them a proper swim evaluation like we are able to give to the full week campers, shallow water games like "Stuck in the Mud!", "Steal the Frisbee!" or "Tackle the Counselor!" were still really popular on Tuesday. Counselor Jason Schleef, unfortunately, seemed to take the brunt of it in this picture.

Not even I am that strong!! And I'm made out of the highest grade of commercially available titanium!

Tuesday's passage was from Psalm 40:3a:
"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God..."

Campfire on Tuesday night reminded us that we can all praise God in many ways; He has done countless amazing things for us and that motivates us to want to praise Him all day! Going to church is one way to praise God, but when we are a good friend, avoid gossip, tell the truth, and go out of our way to help others, that kind of thankful living also praises our living Lord. He gives us many reasons to have many new songs. Praise be to our God!
