Kivu Today: Going for the Gold

Last night was our Kivu Olympics party-- what a blast! The United States was definitely the most widely represented in costume, but the neat part about this term is that we have a quite a few campers from foreign countries. It's been so neat to talk to them and see the differences in our lives while also seeing the uniting factors, specifically the love of Christ! We're grateful for opportunities to talk about life while having a blast in the beautiful mountains.

For the Olympics party, we get decked out in our athletic apparel of choice and compete in activities like power walking, wheelbarrow races, and a softball throw. It's a blast to play and to watch! Before the games, though, we fuel up with a breakfast of champions because everyone knows that an athlete is only as good as the dinner in his tummy. Once the games are played and the winners are announced, we head over the to the "training complex" to celebrate our gold medals with a dance. These campers have brought SO much energy into camp, and we are excited to see what the second week brings!! Thanks for making this party a success, term 3!
