SHBC Youth Camp 2015
Camp Eagle
Rock Springs, TX
Day 1 Head ‘Em Up, Move ‘Em Out
The SHBC youth group headed out for high adventure mid-afternoon
on Monday. Our journey wound through the
choked highways of the city before reaching the open skies and scenic vistas of
the hill country on I-10 West toward Kerrville.
Exiting the motorway we commenced southwesterly and headed into the wilderness.
We left the trail and civilization (cell phone coverage) about 20 miles from
our exit and relied on our keen navigation skills (and residual GPS signal) to find
the one lane track leading to camp. A
mere 8 dusty miles later, Camp Eagle came into view at the first water
crossing.
Discharged from the dust covered coach, campers unloaded and
met their camp counselors before settling into the cabins. The seasoned veterans nabbed the bottom bunks
while the young legs were left to climb the bed frame to the top. Once outside, the groups participated in get
acquainted activities with the sponsors before heading to a kickoff worship
session in the pavilion.
Camp theme for the week is :”Who Sits on Your Throne?”. The students will work follow the children of Israel in the book of Joshua as
they remember God’s work and are challenged with putting God first after their exodus
(2014 camp). They played games in the
Field of Remembrance before the first buffet and a small group debrief with
their camp leaders. After that, it was
ultimate Frisbee and junk food feasts before showers (for some) and lights out.
