The last day of camp has arrived. Camp sure goes by fast. It just seems like yesterday we were welcoming campers and playing Midgett madness. As with each day this week, we had a cool night and woke up to a cool morning; however, the temperature quickly rose by mid morning.

We went through our morning routine one more time. Breakfast, flag raising with the flag talk given by Jeff Wilson, and cabin cleaning.

Today a part of the morning devotional was led by Drake Akin's cabin.

The study today moved to Scene 5: God empowers man to walk with him. Russ led the study for the older campers and Sherry Murray led the study for the younger campers. They talked about how we are called to be a part of God's story, that now that God came to earth and walked with us, that we are now empowered to walk with God. God desires for us to be part of a collection of people that walk with him.

The golden broom was given to Lauren Bean/Sara Moran's cabin for the girls and Drake Akin's cabin for the boys.

Activities this afternoon were sweetheart kickball for the younger campers and a hike to buzzard's roost for the older campers.

Tonight is the night many parents join use to witness the championship ball games, and to witness the baptisms of those who are committing their lives to Jesus. All the campers enjoyed the final softball and volley ball games today.

Tonight is awards night. There are awards given in a number of categories to each camper such as "Can't catch a break in athletics". The awards are enjoyable to see.

After a devotional time, we went to a beautiful spot in the park to witness the baptisms of eight people. The ones baptized were Mark Hager, Courtney Hinton, Luke Lineville, Gabrielle Burke, Abigail King, Elise Lovell,  Ramey Keopf, and Chole Young. We returned to camp for some devotional time in the B lodge to end our last day at camp.

Tomorrow we will leave the park and go to church Sunday for the last camp activity.
