Monday night
Today was a great first start to the week. Everyone woke up ready and excited to have their first full day at Hume. After breakfast came morning chapel, were we went more into the story of the Israelites and the golden calf.
After chapel came the excitement of recreation and “The Fab Four” games. All of the Saint Matthew cabins are on the "OOO" team and have different sue teams under that. So hopefully the OOO team will win the overall team for the week. Well see how the subteams do, but so far we are off to a good start!
After rec came lunch and then free time. Free time was filled with tons of activities. Some explored camp, others rode the zip line over the pond, others enjoyed the wonders of Noah’s Nightmare (a big trapeze from which to swing and drop into the pond), others did the new high ropes course built just for meadow ranch, and others just hung out. Many counselors and campers had one-on-ones, a time when we can get to know each other better and encourage the students to dig deeper into their relationships with God. After dinner a lot of the students watched the counselor vs staff kickball games. Others went to have some down time.
The evening chapel consisted of worship and our speaker, Adam, breaking down the play we saw of the Israelites earlier this morning. He helped show us how we are a lot like the Israelites in that it's easy to still mave idols in our lives.
After chapel we had a little bit more free time before we headed up to cabin time to talk about what we have been processing so far from our speaker Adam, our devotions, and memory verses. Afterwards we headed to bed. It was a packed but awesome first full day of camp.

Sunday Night
Well I’m late posing this because we had a busy, but great day getting settled into camp yesterday. We had a fun drive down watching movies and talking with each other. We made good time and got to camp and into our cabins. We had plenty of time to unpack, spend some time getting to know each other in our cabins, as well as just start exploring around camp. We then went to dinner and then to our first chapel. Chapel was a lot of fun as we got introduced to our band leading worship as well as our speaker. The opener introduced us to the story of the Israelites and the exodus out of Egypt.
Afterwards we had a bit of free time before we headed back to our cabins for small groups and then sleep. Overall a great start to the week. I’m excited to see the fun memories we create as well as what God does this week
