Mighty Mighty Scoop Noodle Challenge

Last night we played Mighty Mighty Scoop Noodle Challenge!  Everyone is divided into two teams.  Each team has three objects on their back line: a volleyball, a frisbee, and a noodle.  The object of the game is to get all 6 objects onto your team's side.  If you get tagged while on the other team's side you have to sit down and wait for one of your teammates to come and save you.

Monday: Olympic Opening Ceremony and Speed Pictionary

It was a beautiful day for the swim test!

This afternoon we played Ultimate Duck, Duck, Gray Duck.  It is similar to regular Duck, Duck, Gray Duck but instead of being individually in a circle, you are in lines.  When you line gets tagged, you all have to get up and race to get back to that line.  The last person sitting is it.

We had the Opening Ceremony of the Luther Dell Olympics today!  The campers and staff were divided into 4 nations who will be competing in different events throughout the week.

Today each nation decided on their name and some even came up with a cheer!

After the Opening Ceremony, we had our first Olympic event: Speed Pictionary.  The nations had to work their way through a list of camp related words, having one team member draw a word and the rest of the team having to guess.  The team that got through the most words at the end, won the most points for their nation.

Yesterday we began the last week of campers for the summer!  We have campers here this week from Word of Peace Lutheran Church in Rogers, Lutheran Church of the Master, Good Shepherd, Salem Lutheran in Longville, and a group from Blaine.

Last night we played 3 Team Medic!  Here are some videos and pictures of the action!

Canteen time after Medic!


Last night we got to have campfire out at the campfire ring, which actually doesn't happen all that often!  Usually the bugs are so bad in the evening that we worship in the screened-in chapel, but it was a cool night and the bugs weren't too bad.   It was great to be worshiping together around the campfire!

It's been a beautiful day at Luther Dell!

A perfect day for Bible Study outside!

One of the cabins did a team building activity called Tick Tock.

The Gaga pit was a popular place to be!


Club band rehearsal!

 They sound great!

Tonight we played Mighty Mighty Scoop Noodle Challenge!  The first game that we played was one of the fastest games of Mighty Mighty that I have ever seen!  All of the objects were on one side before either team knew what had just happened!
