Junior High #2 is in high gear and the classic Qwanoes water games are happening right now! Just before the games began, the clouds parted and the warm summer sun broke through and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect for a giant, massive all-out water fight!!!
The week wouldn’t be complete without an all out battle of the teams with water guns, shields and shaving cream! I just asked a camper what his strategy was and he had this to say “I love sneaking around the edge, then darting in before anyone sees me, that’s the best way to really get him… or if that doesn’t work I just rush in quick and look for the holes so I can get him really good!”. The “him” he is referring to is the lucky counselor covered head to toe with shaving cream! Why is that you ask? The other team is sworn to defend and protect him of course! The counselor with the most shaving cream on at the end of the game wins!
While the battle continues on one side of the playing field, if you look over to the other side you will see BIG BLUE! Campers absolutely love BIG BLUE, and why wouldn’t they… there is nothing like staring down 130 feet of smooth plastic, rushing water filled with slippery soap! Campers love lining up with a good amount of grass (aka runway) to run on just before launching themselves down the water slide! A group of girls from Cabin 7 just went down – let’s hear what they had to say about it: Sienna ” I love going down on my stomach and reaching up to give high fives on the way down! You go soooo fast!” Laura had this to say” It’s super fast, I love going down with a bunch of friends and bumping into each other all the way down, it is so FUN!”
WATCH THE VIDEO – Qwanoes campers enjoying Big Blue and even our speaker Storm couldn’t resist!
Our camp speaker’s name this week is Storm and he came all the way from Calgary to spend a week at Qwanoes and all our campers. He loves Qwanoes, especially when campers dare him to go on the activities like the Sky-Scraper or behind the boat on the rocket! Today he joined in the fun and took a turn down Big Blue! I asked the Cabin 7 girls what they thought of Storm and Caylin & Paig had this to say, “He is so awesome, he really gets your attention…one minute you are laughing and the next he really has you thinking hard. He’s stories about himself are so funny, he definitely can get your attention by telling you things straight up… he doesn’t sugar code it, he just tells it the way it is and I like it that way”.
The Cabin 7 girls are having a blast at camp and one of the reasons is because of Mel their counselor! Mel had this to say ” I love being a camp counselor, I think my girls are awesome… I love telling my girls about God and having fun all at the same time!”
There is still lots of time left in Junior High #2 – after dinner there’s Q-Town and then onto the “Rock Your World Concert & Kick Flip Cafe!” It’s going to be a great rest of the week and then onto Family Camp starting on Sunday!
