Here are some updates from the week:

Tuesday, July 28th:
We have been having a great time! In spite of lots and lots of rain yesterday, the girls have been having a blast!. We went swimming yesterday despite a few sprinkles. In the afternoon we had our human rodeo under the horse pavillion as it poured down rain outside. Our transportation to and from the pavillion was inside a horse trailer– a first for girls camp. Your campers will have some fun stories to tell. We enjoyed thick slices of watermelon and the camels enjoyed eating the rinds.

After the rain last night we woke up to sunshine today. The girls have been enjoying horseback riding, crafts and dance class. We just finished lunch and the girls are in their cabins having rest time.

Everyone is healthy and having fun. Hope to have more updates to follow.

Wednesday, July 29th:
Girls having a great day having fun on the lake in their paddle boats and canoes. The Bible studies are going well. Hope to have more feedback from the counselors on the girls bible study later in the week.

We had our “water olympics” at the pool in the afternoon that were great fun as well as a “cool down” after a warm day. After dinner we went to the Town Hall for songs and announcements. Congratulations to the 5th graders for winning 1st Place for the Clean Cabin Award and to the 1st graders winning 2nd Place. Way to go girls! I’m sure they’ll be showing off those “house cleaning” skills to their parents when they return home! :-)

Back at the cabins for “Story Time” with the book the counselors are reading to the girls and then hopefully, off to sleep.

The rest of the week went very well and we gained about 13 new sisters in Christ (that we know of)!  God is so good!

We want to thank Carol Ann Waid for taking the time to be our photographer for the week – she did an awesome job of capturing the essence of Girls Getaway.  Please enjoy the slide shows.

We look forward to serving your girls next year!

In Christ,

Ellen & Meredith

While some things are a surprise until you get there, here is a sample of our daily schedule at Girls Getaway.

]]> http://www.girlsgetawaycamp.org/featured/tuition-payment.html/feed 0 Dear Diary… – Friday, July 27th, 2007 http://www.girlsgetawaycamp.org/blog/camp-diary-2007/dear-diary-friday-july-27th-2007.html http://www.girlsgetawaycamp.org/blog/camp-diary-2007/dear-diary-friday-july-27th-2007.html#comments Fri, 27 Jul 2007 05:22:45 +0000 jasonloveless http://www.girlsgetawaycamp.org/?p=16 On Friday, we reviewed all the verses for the week and did a review of each days Bible study.  The girls were able to clarify questions from earlier days and have great discussions about what they had learned during the week.  We heard fabulous things about their Bible study times.  God was working in their lives and we so excited about how He will continue to work this next year and beyond.

After Bible study, we headed back to the cabins to pack and clean.  We had a concluding assembly time where the girls were able to share with the group some fond memories of the week as well as things they had learned.  We finished our assembly time with an awesome slide show that our photographer, Stacy Reaves, had put together.  After lunch, we had our last snack shack, prayed, loaded the buses to head home!

Ellen, Meredith, and Lisa so missed being the the arrival to the church, but the trailer was causing the SUV to guzzle gas and we had to stop to refill.  It’s amazing how much that slowed us down!

We want to extended a special thanks to all the Counselors and Junior Counselors who gave so much of themselves to be a part of our week.  Also to Lisa, our nurse, for taking such good care of  our sweet campers.  And Stacy so we could show you the fun we had!  I wish you could have seen how much they enjoyed and loved on your girls.  They were truly a blessing.

Parents, thank you for allowing your daughters to bless us this week!  They were fun, energetic, and full of life.  We feel honored to know them and to have been able to serve these precious young women this last week.  May our Lord richly bless each of your families.

Please enjoy the slideshow that sums up the week!

 

By His Grace,

Ellen and Meredith
