RISE UP!


hi y'all.
jenni here.

for those of you who haven't heard, courtney is off dump-tackling people on a rugby field, so i'm here... holding the fort. doing the dishes. updating the blog. etc.

jenni's favorite things:

playing on rocks/mountains (that's me in the picture)
doing dishes
drinking tea with jordan
laughing and crying at the same time
driving the quad with koda

fall is here. which means rise up is here!
september 21-23... about 70 people came out for rise up.

the highlights...

seth franco came out again. i'd love to hear your thoughts on his talks.
dale friesen and vicky berg and the band.
breaking chairs during icebreakers... "i have never" became a full-contact sport
NO SNOW!
all-nighters (ugh! i bet you slept all of sunday afternoon)
mission impossible

if you want to get in touch with seth or see what he's up to, you can find him at http://www.sethfranco.com/.

everybody went home tired and happy.

but while you were sleeping... just before your alarm went off for school on monday morning...
the camp evergreen staff and pillar people were already at timmy hortons on their way to the mountains.

more on that later...

until then... may God strengthen you with HIS POWER and may you know His love in a way that blows your mind! --ephesians 3:16-19

in Him and through His strength!

Keep Calm and Play Jug 'n' Jog

Jug 'n' Jog. If the world could just play more Jug 'n' Jog - I think it would be a happier place. It is quite possibly the number one, most singularly enjoyed game at camp. In fact - there are times when I think kids could come to camp, only play Jug 'n' Jog and leave being the happiest kids on Earth. In fact, we could almost be renamed Camp Jug 'n' Jog. And it's also funny - my computer or iPhone doesn't even recognize the words or phrase as being a spell check. That's when you know you talk about something a lot. You might think that those opening statements are strange or even foreign - maybe you don't even know what Jug 'n' Jog is...well, let me tell you! It's epic, it's fantastic, and it's played with recycling (we have to be good stewards, you know). The concept is quite simple - the field is divided into two halves, each team has a square on it with recycled jugs in it. The goal is to get the other team...
