Last day with the campers from Amery

The campers from Our Savior's in Amery are on their way home now.  It was a great week!

It was another intense night of Hula Launchers last night!


The campers from OSLC have gotten very good at this game!




Today we had our closing ceremonies for the Olympics!  Each nation is pictured with the flag that they created on Sunday.
The proud 4th place Phluphatopians!


The UPL's (The United People of Luther) got 3rd place! 

The Land of DAVE! came in 2nd place!

And the Tigers came in 1st place, winning the gold medal!

The Tigers got a two-for-one deal by voting for Anna and Anna.  So they got to send both Anna's into the lake!

Last Day of the Olympics!

It was another beautiful day at Luther Dell.  It was very warm with lots of sun!

Before lunch we played a few games of Ships Across the Ocean!

To combat the heat this afternoon, there was a game of Water Balloon Nuke 'Em!



Gaga has been a hit all week!


For one of the games during free time, they made a rule that you had to grunt or make a funny noise every time you hit the ball.  It was pretty entertaining!


Our Olympic event today was Noodle Hockey.  Two teams play at a time and each player has a noodle.  The object of the game is to get the gator ball in to the opposing team's net.  You can not use your feet in this game, so if the ball touches a player's foot, they have to raise their noodle in the air and count to five before resuming play.

We will have our Olympic Closing Ceremony tomorrow morning.  The winning team will get to vote on a staff member to throw into the lake to conclude the Closing Ceremony!

Tonight we played another game of Hula Launchers!  That has become the favorite game of the Our Savior's campers and they have gotten really good at it!  We will include pictures from that tomorrow.

Hula Launchers and Drawn to the Word

The internet has been going in and out today, so it has been a challenge to get this posted.  Here are the pictures and video clips from last night.  We will continue to work to get the update from today posted as soon as we can.  It's been another beautiful day and all is well here at Luther Dell!

Last night we played Hula Launchers!

This game was such a favorite that the campers voted to play it again tonight!

Last night we had Paul Oman come out with his Drawn to the Word Ministry.  During worship he painted a mural of the parable of the vineyard workers, which was the story that the kids learned about in Bible Study earlier.









The Parable of the Vineyard Workers


We enjoyed having Paul and his family at camp for a couple days!  We are so thankful that he was able to share his gifts with us in worship!  What a neat ministry!

It was a colorful sunset last night!

Street Square Tournament and Minute to Win It!

Today during free time we had a street square tournament!  Street square is like 4 square but a little crazier.  You can bounce it off the walls of the patio, your feet, and the people waiting in line.  You can also hit it multiple times in the air as long as it only bounces in your square once.

Time for a score update!

In 2nd place: Dylan!
