Hello Knightly News readers! I've had a blast so far this summer updating you knightly on the day's events.

This week is Urban Explorers camp and while a few staff members are hanging around to help counsel and run programs, most--myself included--have opted to take a well deserved break. (Running at Outdoor Sports, dancing at song period, and canoeing around the lake can really take a lot out of you!)

Thus, while there won't be highlights of daily camp activities, throughout the week I will be posting information about upcoming Camp Phillip events.
Be sure to check back to stay up-to-date with current camp information, and I'll return with my usual posts on Sunday, July 25!

Ask your camper what their favorite part of the week was and it's quite likely he or she will exclaim, "Swimming!" The waterfront was a busy place today, beginning at 7 A.M. for the group that opted to swim across the lake (with extra lifeguards and rowboats alongside, of course.)

While safety at the lake is our number one priority, fun is a close second.
As the day got warmer, the waterfront got busier: even more campers, more boat rides, and more jumps off the raft. Sounds like the right ingredients for making a few more memories on the last day!



Today's Passage: Romans 10:10
"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

Today's theme had a little Halloween spirit--but only the dress-up and candy kind! The schedule included a costume themed breakfast and a ghost story evening game. To add to the fun, the counselors got to participate in a post-dinner trick or treat challenge. I have to admit, it was more a treat for the campers than anything!

Chocolate eggs? Try chocolate syrup and eggs poured on your head! Whipped cream pie...in the face! (Don't worry, the counselors had been forewarned.) It was a tricky play on words, but it sure was sweet!



Today's Passage: 1 Corinthians 2:13
"This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words."

Today's most exciting event wasn't quite planned. It came about in a flash! Our evening schedule was disrupted by an area tornado warning.

No worries here, though! Staff quickly jumped into action to get everyone to castle basements safe and sound. The warning lasted only half an hour, passing by quickly with counselor-led rainy, or should I say stormy, day games.

Once the watch was called off, campers were driven back to the dining hall to resume with song period and campfire as usual. It may have pushed the schedule back, but who doesn't like a free ride now and then?



Today's Passage: 2 Timothy 2:15
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."

It was a perfect day to hit the fairways on the disc golf course. Or should I say to hit the baskets...

Every castle gets the opportunity to try their hand (literally) at disc golf during the week. This afternoon the girls of Castle Ten showed off their skills.

Counselors teach campers the basic rules and techniques of the game and after that the fun really gets flying. Sometimes the games are competitive and other times they're simply creative. I've seen castles incorporate acting into their games--portraying different occupations or even animals. I guess that makes two ways to get a birdie!



Today's Passage: Isaiah 61:10
"I delight greatly in the LORD;my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels."
