Soccer Camp 2024 Wednesday Recap

We have passed our halfway point of Soccer Camp on Wednesday! We were able to once again avoid most of the rain despite another day-long forecast of storms.

The campers started their day off at the flagpole once the breakfast bell rang. After accounting for everyone, we had our daily flag raising, pledge of allegiance, and morning prayer, after which everyone made their way into the dining hall for eggs and sausage on English muffins.

The campers gathered in the chapel barn for the morning service after some quiet time. We once again livestreamed our worship portion on Camp Iroquoina's Facebook and Instagram accounts. The songs which the campers sung were This the Day, You Are Holy, I Consider Your Love Forever, No Longer Slaves, and Our God.

 

During the chapel service, we heard a testimony from Daniel Rodriguez of how the Lord saved him from his sin and has since worked in his life. 

Joe Wilbur then brought forth another message from God's word. Joe spoke on God's covenant with Abram, who believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness (Genesis 15:6). 

Following the morning chapel service, the campers got prepared for soccer and made their way down to the soccer fields to practice shooting.

The campers then had some Philly cheesesteaks for lunch, followed by a time of rest.

At 2:00pm, the campers returned to the soccer fields to play Dutch Futbol, after which they enjoyed some free time period activities from 3:30pm to 5:00pm.

For dinner, the kitchen staff served the campers pasta, sausage, and peppers. There was also some time following dinner where we celebrated Soccer Camp Training Coordinator John Jones, whose birthday was today. John has served at Soccer Camp for 34 of its 46 years!

Post dinner, the campers jumped right into our second annual Soccer Camp kickball tournament. The campers and staff were split into various teams, and a few games were played by all.

After the tournament, the campers made their way to the chapel barn where our annual singalong occurred. The music team led by Seth Fluder combined to use their musical talents in leading the campers in over a dozen songs.

In between some of the songs, memory verses were said by a few cabins. Counselor Luke Howard also had some time to share his testimony.

At the end of the singalong, CIT Director Ezequiel Montes concluded by explaining the importance of each camper making a decision to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

That is our prayer for this week and what the closing prayer to the singalong focused upon.
