Tuesday Recap - Day #2

Tuesday morning breakfast was waffles and bagels. I’ve never seen anyone eat 3 frozen chocolate chip waffles before, but Digs couldn’t wait for the toaster I guess. The team was tired but ready for another day at camp. I think a lot were surprised at how much energy it took to hang out with kids and do programming for 7 hours a day. A really great learning experience.

The drama team kicked it up a notch as the morning meeting was all about Lightbulb Man searching for a sidekick. The show involved a robbery, a high speed chase and an awesome dive off the front of the stage by Bootleg who was playing the villain for the morning. After he gets away and Lightbulb Man realizes that he cannot fight crime alone and needs some help, he puts up signs and holds “Side Kick Auditions”. From that point on, a parade of weird and wonderful characters interviewed for the position but were all denied. There was Pedro the Runner played by Ginger, The Eater, The Digger and my personal favorite, the Robotic Cheerleader all played by Digs. As Lightbulb Man leaves discouraged because he could not find a suitable sidekick, he encounters “Shift” (played by Bisk), a crime fighting machine who can change and morph into any shape, size or person. Shift jumps on the scene just in time to catch the same villain who thwarted our superhero earlier in day, and Lightbulb Man asks Shift to be his new partner. A dream team is born.

The rest of the day was filled with Bible Studies from Daniel and the Lion’s Den, a “Create Your Own Superhero” craft for the younger kids and an awesome Camp Wide Game in the afternoon called “The Great Paint Escape. During that game, six of our teams members organized and ran various outdoor activity stations, while the other 6 members were dressed in full body white jumpsuits so they could be painted by their team each time they won an activity. By the end of the day, Elroy, Stern, Sugah, Swoosh, Tubes and Ginger were soaked to the bone with all different colors of paint. Hopefully some of our pictures came out and we can post the madness later.

At night, we headed out for dinner and then to see the movie “The Proposal”. As mentioned before, we found out earlier in the day that the boys had ben kicked out of their spot at KSM, so we loaded into LJ’s van, picked up some groceries (these students eat a LOT) and headed to LJ’s house for the night.
