TRAILBLAZER CAMP - WEDNESDAY
Wednesday was a jam-packed day at Mantowagan for the Trailblazers! After breakfast and personal time with God, campers headed off to our popular "Choose Your Own Chapel" sessions. Topics included: Do You Get More Phone Alerts Than I Do? - Exploring how God sends us alerts for righteous living and how we can recognize and respond to them. / Science vs. Faith: Do We Have to Choose? - Looking at how both God's creation and God's Word point us to the truth of who He is. / Am I Saved? - Examining how Scripture helps us test ourselves and find confidence in our salvation. / Should I Bet on the Steelers to Win the Super Bowl? - Taking a biblical look at the growing world of sports betting. / Jesus Through the Ages - Discovering how God has been at work throughout history and what that means for us today. / Cursing Psalms and Jesus' Command to Love Our Enemies - Wrestling with a challenging but important biblical topic.
Following chapel, campers enjoyed cabin time and morning activities before gathering for a delicious hamburger lunch. Then it was off to Seven Points at Raystown Lake! The afternoon was filled with water trampolines, Ultimate, disc golf and mt. biking option, beach activities, time with friends, and of course, plenty of visits to the snack shop.
Back at camp, everyone enjoyed one of the week's favorite meals—a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. During evening chapel, Pastor Noah Hoover challenged campers with a message titled "Repurposed for a New Aim,"encouraging them to consider God's purpose for their lives.
After some evening activities, campers participated in two of the most meaningful experiences of the week: Walk the Line and the Vulnerability Campfires. These special times give campers an opportunity to be honest about their struggles, encourage one another, and build accountability. Year after year, this evening becomes a highlight of camp as campers realize they are not alone in life's challenges and form bonds that often last well beyond the week.
As the day came to a close, campers returned to their cabins for discussion time before lights out, preparing for another exciting day of adventure, growth, and fun on Thursday. - Written on Wednesday at 11:10 PM.

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!
