Camp Element 2010 part two - Tuesday

So Tuesday was a completely different day. The first half of the day we spent inside, in the activity center at the church. First, me and the rest of my team painted ourselves blue. That's right, we wore blue clothes, and had blue paint on our arms, legs, hands, feet, and face. It was good though, and our team ended up getting extra spirit points!

We also did random inside games, like shooting M&Ms out of our noses to see who could shoot them the farthest (I won lol) and chugging contests and human wheelbarrow races, and there was this one game called Dizzy Dummy, where one person had a pole and put a roll of toilet paper on it, and they held it while another person held one end of the toilet paper and unwrapped it while spinning as fast as they could so the toilet paper was wrapped around whoever was spinning. I was the spinner twice in a row, and I won that game for our team! Woot!

After the indoor games, we walked about a quarter of a mile to the park across the street from the church, where we played two water games. The first one was like a baseball/kickball type thing. One team were the "batters" and the other team were defense. The batting team had 3 things to throw or kick: a Frisbee, a foam football, and a giant dodge ball. After all 3 things had been kicked or thrown, whoever pitched them had to run the bases, which were buckets that you had to slide your butt on as you passed or sat on them if you didn't wanna get out. Third base, however, was a bit different. We could bypass the butt sliding option and slide to home, on a Slip and Slide which was covered in dish soap and water. Since I'm not a fast runner, I didn't get to do this, but I certainly got splashed and sprayed a few times, it was nice lol

Next, we had a 3-person water balloon launcher - which if you don't know what that is, it's where 2 of our leaders held it, one on each side, and a camper would launch the balloon - and we had to launch balloons into buckets. One person from the blue team had a bucket, and one person from the orange team had one, and the goal was to catch the balloon in the bucket; however, it didn't matter who launched the balloon, it mattered who caught it. For example, if a person on the blue team launched the balloon and the orange team member who was holding the bucket caught the balloon, the orange team got a point. Then after that, we had the balloons and the launcher, and we did a distance competition, and man those balloons went FAR!

It was so hot outside though, and after the outside activities were over, we did a few more inside things and were so happy to go back to where we were staying and get a shower after that day was over! Since we were pressed for time and were only allowed ONE minute in the shower, some of us went to the backyard and washed our hair and shaved in the hose, it actually worked surprisingly well!

After we all got ready, we had another AMAZING worship service! It surpassed my expectations, and even when I thought I couldn't go on to worship any longer, I got a sudden burst of energy and was able to keep on, it was so amazing that I didn't want to stop worshipping! It felt so good to worship like that, it was even better than Monday night's worship, if that's even possible! Tuesday was all in all an awesome day. :)
