Keeping with Mid Summer and Other Events...

Hello friends!
Here at camp we have officially passed the halfway mark of the summer!  5 weeks of camp down, 5 to go!  Here's some picutres and happenings from the last couple weeks:

Shock week- Two weeks ago was Shock week at Eagle Lake.  Normally at camp we have kids ages 8-14 (so through middle school) camping with us.  During Shock week we have all high schoolers!  Its a super fun week and these teenagers have a great time doing some crazy activities.
Getting messy- Shock week campers participated in "messy games" which is exactly what it sounds like.  These counselors got painted from head to toe!

These campers also enjoyed the craziness and mess!

On Wednesday, Shock week campers had a festival that included free snow cones, which I got to make!  Rainbow flavor was quite popular.
Goodbye Crew:
Our Crew program here at Eagle Lake is a 5-week camp that high schoolers attend and they service us by cooking our food, cleaning, maintaining our trails and yes, even cleaning the toilets.  Without the Crew kids, Eagle Lake would never be able to operate.  Last week we said goodbye to the Crew kids that were here for the first 5 weeks of the summer.
Some of the kitchen Crew kids and staff, along with myself (back right, with the long neck) had some fun in the kitchen one of the last days they were at camp.
Our new Crew arrived last Saturday!  Please pray that they would have a wonderful time at camp growing and serving with us!


And the other news:
As most of you know, Trey Tippie (who I met at Eagle Lake) and myself have been dating for almost a year.  A week and a half ago he asked me to marry him and I said... YES!  We are overjoyed and extremely excited for what God has done in our lives and what He will do as we become man and wife!  Please pray for the coming months of engagement that the Lord would work in mighty ways and prepare both of us for marriage!

My future husband and me.
As always, please continue to pray for the salvation of all of the children and adults who visit Eagle Lake property!  Thank you so much for your love and support!
