Well…we made it to Camp Copass!  Had a smooth and easy ride from FBCN with no incidents.  With the exception of the Scorchers & Crimson Truth guys (5th & 6th boys) having to ride in the un-air conditioned bus, everything went great.  Got unloaded and settled in to their cabins and then met briefly in the “Batcave” meeting room.  Our memory verse, as you can see on the left, was Matthew 19:26 today.  The other item the boys will be working on memorizing is the “Warrior Creed”…thought you might enjoy.

After lunch we had a great time for our “Super Skills Training” – High Ropes, Climbing Wall, Craft (Duct Tape Wallets) and Mini-Golf.  We had a looooooong swim afterwards which was a welcome respite from the heat.  The guys chilled out during our Flat On Back (FOB) time for a bit, then hit the chow hall.  Shortly after dinner, we had some praise & worship time and broke up into our “Super Alliances” for our daily competitions.  Tonight we had our 2nd Annual “Slime Pit Kickball”…kickball, but with the bases (baby pools) filled with various slime elements – first base = red jello (this base had a hole in the bottom, drained rapidly, so I had to get the hose out and continue to fill it…but a nice opportunity to soak everyone…BONUS!); second base = baked beans; third base = oatmeal oats; home plate = flour.  When the boys dry this concoction hardens to a nice pasty/crunchy film over the skin and clothes…difficult to water blast off…hence the throw away outfits!!  We had a great time and the boys LOVED this game…you might hear about it a bit when they get back home .

Cleaned up and settled in for the night.  The counselors are reading “Mountain Cabin Mystery” as their bedtime story, which they all seem to enjoy.

We are doing well and having a great time here!  Your boys are wonderful and we are so honored, blessed and priviledged to host them at Warrior Week this year.

We are looking forward to an awesome day tomorrow.  We are talking about Transformation – what it looks like for superheroes and what it looks like for us as brothers in Christ.

In Him,

Jason & Matt
