To Our Clergy, With Love

The stoles for Eucharist.

BOOF!

It happened!  It might have been a more abbreviated game, but we had one round of Boof during activity time.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, Boof is a special kind of tag.  In it, campers run around and Boofers try to tag them with a sock full of flour.  Once a camper is tagged, they must freeze and wait for a Medic to arrive.  The Medic will ask them to perform a task.  Once the camper has done this, they will be unfrozen.  You can get tagged twice before you're out.

This year, everyone on the field had to be careful, Boofers and Boofees alike.  It was soggy out there, sneakers only.

Amongst the Boofers: a bat, a sunflower, a T-Rex, and a wolf.  And the medics had many creative ways to "unfreeze" people who had been tagged: high-fives to all the adults and push-ups, to name just a few.

As in past years, we had a pep band cheering on the players.  The mood was festive and the sky was sunny and blue.

Everyone had a great time.  If canteen hadn't been the next activity, I think everyone would have played a second round.

Hang Time

While every day we have F.O.B.B.Y. (Flat On Your Back By Yourself) time, camp is busy and can be loud.  There are instruments playing, kids singing, and activities that make you hot and tired.  Sometimes it's nice to take a little extra "me time."  And that's why God make the hammock, and we hung them between two trees.  It's nice to relax, recharge, and read a book.

Lost and Found Fashion Show

Well, it's the last full day of camp, and the lost and found is FULL.  Our solution here at EYMC, a Lost and Found Fashion Show.  We had two fabulous models this year, counselors Riley and Jessica.  After a few trips down the catwalk (the aisle between the two rows of tables in the Dining Hall), most everything had been claimed.  Hopefully, by tomorrow afternoon, all the stuff the campers came with, will be all the stuff they leave with.  Fingers crossed.

Recorder Roundup

This year, beginning recorder learned how to play Take Me Out to the Ball Game.  It was hard because it uses all the notes including an F# and a G#.  The hardest part of recorder, is that sometimes our fingers are a bit too little to cover all the holes.  However, we practiced all the hard parts over and over.  By the end, we could play half of the song.  From low C, to high D.

Making Grapes into Sacred Wine

During LT Boundary Breakers (an LT activity), we all said something we wanted to smash.  I said berries and throughout the week it became a joke that we would do it.  Eventually, it became more than a joke.  I asked for permission and supplies.  On Thursday, my dream came true and we got to smash berries.  It was a blast and the joke will be used at the Eucharist.  (Lauren Dudley)

After Lauren and the rest of LT smashed their berries.  I ran across Cheryl in the kitchen and I asked, "How are you going to make it into wine?"  I assumed there was some special formula, as she was boiling it on the stove.  Instead, Cheryl said, "Use my finger."  Of course.  (Sarah Babbitt)
