Day 4 - Superhero Day - August 17

Superhero Day!

Today we woke up to bright sunshine and joyful expectations.  Each day we have a particular theme where the campers are to be creative in preparing appropriate costumes.

We also have been enjoying the culinary expertise of an amazing kitchen staff:
In an effort to enjoy the sunny day our counselors played a prank by wetting their campers!

Nunemaker (one of our cabins) continues the splash and it's not even Saturday!

We gathered in The Lodge to have a wonderful time with a theatrical/musical ensemble named:
"Music With A Message"
We celebrated with contemporary songs with this group of children and youth from The Bronx who are developing a creative form of presenting a positive message!  For more information on Music with a Message please visit: http://www.musicwam.org/
It was an amazing day for the glory of God!  Although for many of our children this is the first time they have ever experienced a fresh-air camping/retreat experience, they have been enjoying the studies, recreational and worship experiences.  This evening some of the groups are camping out in tents purchased by Accion a few years ago.  More pictures will be forthcoming!
