Camp Cherith day two

We woke by 7 to a glorious morning and headed off to breakfast by 8AM.  We came back to our cabin to do our devotions, and then we went to our first activity, which was swimming.  I didn’t take my camera.  I sincerely enjoyed, to the core of my being, my conversations with the two women who are swim instructors/life guards.  One was from FL and one from IL.  I was so soothing to talk with them and find they felt the same way I do about this “pandemic” and the lockdowns.  They also were so encouraging to my reluctant swimmer and they played with Katriel and their cool toys.  Our family had the WHOLE POOL to ourselves. 

We headed back to the cabin to prepare for our next activity.

ARCHERY!

Our wonderful archery instructor does this FOR FREE every summer as a ministry.  God bless these leaders.  I am just in awe.

Then we went outside for our post-lunch devotional activity.

This one focus on how we need people in our lives to support and encourage us.

We had cabin quiet time.  Here she is reading her Bible storybook to me.

Finally we had a craft period.

Again, we had a lovely adult leader who met my girls where they each were at for crafting.  Different than at home, where mom is all about calculating the mess, our leader was all about helping them see their vision come to be.

We hurried back to the cabin for swim suits and we were at the Tuck Shop the moment it opened for our daily ice cream.

Tab used free time to read while we hit the pool again.

Our family was the only group to finish the map relay race on time.  Tab is an expert mapper.  (It runs in the family.)
