EXPLORER ON TUESDAY
As the temperatures climbed at Explorer Camp on Tuesday, the campers' energy climbed right along with them! It was another action-packed day from sunrise to lights out. The day kicked off with a delicious breakfast of French toast and bacon before everyone gathered for worship and chapel. Pastor Brant shared about Moses' serious sin and how, even though he faced the consequences of his choices, God wasn't finished with him. God repurposed Moses' life for an even greater purpose.
Then it was off to morning activities! Campers rotate through crazy kickball (with kiddie pools as the bases!), archery, crafts, nature time, team-building challenges, GaGa ball, the climbing wall, and plenty of other adventures throughout the week.
Lunch featured everyone's favorite—Taco Tuesday! Cabin 6 (boys) and Cabin 1 (girls) earned bragging rights by taking home the Clean Cabin Awards. With the afternoon heat settling in, swimming and canoeing at the lake couldn't have come at a better time. Everyone was grateful for a chance to cool off before heading inside for our picnic-style dinner in the comfort of the air conditioning.
The evening chapel featured Pastor Brian, who taught about Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush and how God was preparing him to lead the Israelites out of slavery and for the bigger purpose God intended for the coming Savior. To wrap up the day, cabins competed in a camp-wide drawing challenge before everyone gathered for a lively Game Show Night. Congratulations to the girls, who captured the overall Wheel of Fortune championship! Now it's time for cabin devotions, bedtime, and a well-earned night's sleep before another exciting day of camp adventures on Wednesday!

Do you ever feel like you are a failure and without any value?
Consider the story of "Play-Doh" modeling clay that we all know and love. What we know of as "Play-Doh" was actually created as a way to clean soot from wallpaper in homes heated with coal stoves in the 1930's. This creative cleaning idea never became popular. Decades later, this "failed product" was repurposed as a toy for kids, and the rest is history. Just like "Play-Doh", when you place your trust in Jesus and follow in His footsteps, you are REPURPOSED for service in His Kingdom. In the Bible, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." As Jesus teaches you through His words and other believers, you will become more like Him. You will be REPURPOSED and used by God in ways far beyond what you can imagine. Have fun and learn about your true purpose in life at Camp Mantowagan this summer!
