Coming home from camp with more then t-shirts and strange stories is very important to me. Every camper has put time into learning memory verses this last week and i would hate to see them quickly lost as we return home. I encourage you to not only ask your student about these verses but also to learn them yourself. The best way to lead is by example so I have a challenge for the parents. The first parent and student who can say all the camp verses together will get 50% off one youth group event in the 2012 calendar year. I don’t wont to waste your study time so simply scroll down for the list of verses.

Psalm 119:9-11
9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 31:1-3
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me.
Psalm 18:1-3
I love you, LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield[b] and the horn[c] of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I called to the LORD, who is worthy of praise,
and I have been saved from my enemies.
Psalm 25:8-10
8 Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.
Psalm 40:6-8
6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—
but my ears you have opened[a]—
burnt offerings and sin offerings[b] you did not require.
7 Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
it is written about me in the scroll.[c]
8 I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart.”

It’s Wednesday morning and things are going well here at Hume Lake. Last nights chapel service was a huge moment in life of many students as Chris ,our speaker, explained the idea of making Jesus not only our savior but giving Him Lordship over our lives. It was a time of first commitments for several students and lead into wonderfully deep cabin conversation that night. I love to see our students excited to keep the conversations going and not simply to stay up later. Times like these remind me in a huge way that get the middle schoolers away from tv, music, video games, the internet, and so many other distraction can quickly allow them to focus on the important things in life. I often speak with families that would like to limit these things in their child’s life but don’t know how or where to start. For those of you with students here at camp perhaps this can be a time to put new standards and limits in place as the campers return home. They will have just spent one of the most enjoyable weeks of there summer without any of these things so if a change is needed I think now may be the time.
Check back soon for more updates.

With our first full day of camp behind us the campers are well settled in and having a great time. It’s fun to watch how quickly the students feel at home here at Hume and with their roomies. As I stopped by each buys cabin last night it was fun to hear our boys talking about plans for free time and how to win the next recreation game but ever better to find that pretty much all they guys had their first memory verse complete. The memory verses for each day follow along with our camp theme and help the students connect further to what we are learning. Every year it seems hard to get the students started with the verses but this crew has jumped right in. Later today I will post a list of this weeks verses for you to read and also perhaps to memorize. The importance and need for scripture memorization was much of the focus of today’s passage. Take a minute and look up our students verses for today and read for yourself what the students have all been talking about today. You could even try to memorize it your self.
Psalms 119:9-11
What are the counselors say?
Paige Colijn – “This is such a sweet group of girls. They all have such wonderful hearts.”
Spenser Thompson – “I can’t believe all my guys have showered!”
Ryan McKalson – “Our speaker is really bringing this passage to life for the kids.”
