Wow! What a great start to Juniors retreat last night. Something is just different at Qwanoes when campers are here, it makes Qwanoes come alive!! It’s hard to explain, but I think this video will help – Check it out !
Club Coco was transformed, and we started off the night with having Q-Town right in Club Coco! What a special night as the Squirrel (Russ Smith) was back on the stage leading Q-Town songs once again with the rest of our band Quixotic. Our Juniors campers got a very special surprise last night, as something happened that was very different! Russ didn’t leave the stage after we were done singing! What!? That’s right for those that guessed it…for the very first time Russ the “Squirrel” is our camp speaker, and he is doing an amazing job! Our theme for this weekend is “Something’s Different Here” and Russ is talking all about how Jesus did some things that were a little bit different, and said things that were a little bit different. Something else that is a little different at Qwanoes this weekend is Scott Bayley led All Star games on Friday night! Now that is very different, but it’s all part of our very special weekend!
Mug-Up, cabin devos, cabins eating together in the dining hall, All Star games, this weekend is packed with so many great things. This afternoon campers spread out across Qwanoes for activity time. The Sky-Scraper was swinging through the trees, campers were hanging in Club Coco, and screams of delight could be heard loud and clear from the “Screamer.” I even saw campers lined up at Ice-Cream Island enjoying some great tastes of summer.
Right now the campers are engaged in an epic battle called “Under Siege.” They are sneaking around the forest trying to infiltrate the enemies territory, defend their own territory by catching those who dare cross the line, and seeking to attack the enemy base with “grenades” and even rockets! It’s anyones game right now, RED, BLUE, GREEN and YELLOW, when the gong goes, someone will be victorious!
So much more in store for this weekend! More Q-Town, more All Star Games, more friends and the town invasion is coming up tonight where all the campers head to the pool and take over!
