PIONEER CAMP ON TUESDAY
Pioneer Camp is officially underway, and what a fantastic first day it was! After our welcome time and cabin photos, campers jumped right into the fun with crafts, a scavenger hunt, parachute games, 9 Square, and plenty of laughs. One of the biggest hits of the morning? A giant JENGA game that was almost as tall as some of the campers! Lunch featured a camper favorite—chicken nuggets, fries, a salad bar, and fresh fruit—before everyone gathered for chapel. The campers loved singing the worship songs, and Pastor Wes Yoder shared from the life of Joseph, reminding everyone how God "repurposed" Joseph's life after he was sold into slavery by his brothers. Then it was time to cool off with an afternoon swim at Lake Raystown before heading back for dinner.
The fun didn't stop there! Evening worship and chapel had campers enthusiastically singing (with lots of hand motions!), followed by activity rotations. Riding scooters together—especially when counselors provided the horsepower—was a crowd favorite. The evening's sweetest highlight? Delicious STICKY ice cream sandwiches! As the day wound down, campers returned to their cabins to get to know their counselors and new friends, spend time talking about God, and settle in for a well-earned night's sleep. Our youngest campers may have been tired when their heads hit the pillow, but don't worry—they'll be up bright and early Wednesday morning, racing to claim the GaGa pit before breakfast!

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!
