Base Camp 2017

• Getting hungry. I feel like I could eat a wha… #

• Final night – in less than 2 hours! Bring your family… #
• Final night of@fhbc_basecamp!! http://basecamp.fhbcgr.org #
• Inflatables are going up now! Yeeeeeee-haaaaaaaw!!!!! #
• That's a wrap folks! Monty gave the gilvopper to the kids, the campers had a blast and learned a ton, and the gunslinger was finally beat! #

It was another energetic night learning about David, dancing to the music, playing crazy games, and bonding with cabin groups! We learned that although David was a great king for Israel, he made some terrible mistakes, and there is a perfect king that will rule forever: Jesus!

And now for the pictures of the evening…

Mr. Kevin with the megaphone

Missus Nickell teaches the preschool through second-graders about David’s mistakes and Christ’s reign

Missus Leeds teaches the third- and fourth-graders

Mr. Christie teaches the fifth- and sixth-graders

Good ol’ Jimmy the raccoon learned the mandolin from his best friend, Sixstring Luke. Here he shows off his newfound skills.

Game time was a little bit messy tonight…

…or maybe really messy…

…even for the counselors…

…and “Uncle Swiney!”

The younger kids played a safe (albeit slightly wet) game of water balloon toss!

“Wild Doc” Perry and Sixstring Luke devised a plan to outwit the Automatic Gunslinger. They lost. Again.

“Hey-o I received your mercy…” Singing praises to the Lord!

Now, y’all come back to our fifth and final day of Base Camp 2009! Find out if Gil’s grandkids will lose the farm, or if anyone finds Gilvopper…or if “Wild Doc” Perry and Sixstring Luke can defeat the Automatic Gunslinger! See you there!

• Day 3 of Base Camp pictures are up! http://photobucket.com/basecamp09_day3 #
• Come tonight to find out how the story turns out for Gil’s kids and grandkids! Will they get to keep their property? #
• 2 hour countdown…don’t miss it! #
• Lots o’ shootin’ goin’ down tonight with the automatic gunslinger. #
• King David makes a big mistake in tonight’s story – just like we do all the time! Come find out how big God’s mercy is tonight. #
• Come on, Monty! Help the kids! #
• “Wild Doc” Perry and Sixstring Luke think they have the gunslinger figured out. Could be a big victory at closing time tonight! #
• Cabin pictures going on now – will be available for parents to print on the website later this week. #
• Day 4 pictures are up now! http://photobucket.com/basecamp09_day4 #

Another lively day at the Base Camp Ranch, with a great story of David’s joy and dancing as he brought the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem. Lots of music, drama, counselor time, teaching, games, and goofiness thrown in as well…

One on one counselor time

Friendship

Anticipation for the music and drama

The Philbert family shares a moment when they find out they may lose the property

Boss informs Monty of the taxes owed on the property, and the fact that he will be the prowd owner of it by Thursday

The launch…

…and the catch!

…and another sweet catch by Counselor Tim.

…and one more. What a great shot!

The scorekeep. Nuff said.

And they’re off!

• 2 hour countown – Jimmy the raccoon is excited! Tonight is about King David and the Ark of the Covenant. See y'all there! #
• Ahhh..the fresh stench of Grizzly Gulch! #
• Uh-oh. Slingshots and water balloons just went outside. 🙂 #
• Automatic gunslinger part 3. 8:20pm. Hilarity will (most likely) ensue. #
