The first entry of August 2008

G'day ladies and Gentle men boys and girls.  Here is hopefully the first of many blog posts for the month of august.  I have recently returned from the land down under (Australia) and jumped right back into the crazy fun times of camp.  Our fifth week of the summer has just begun and already I have seen kids running and laughing, and am hearing stories from the different activities and how much fun our grade 3-5 children are having.  Soon even more kids are coming and we look forward to them arriving.  
I have heard many many good things about what has happened whilst I was away.  The videos that are made at the end of the week are very exciting to watch.  Hearing what the speakers are talking about and how its impacting both the campers and the staff was and is very exciting.  It is clear that God is present here and doing things with and in the people here.  
I'll hopefully be able to conquer the computer problems and update this blog at the end of every week.  It has been a great pleasure to tell you about the events of Camp Evergreen and I hope you have enjoyed it as well.
  
Continue to pray for us if you would that God Keeps showing up and doing stuff in the lives of all the people that step on this property.   

Trusting in Our God who is mighty to save.

Hi! Just had a peek at your blog to see what our daughter is up to at the Explorers 2 camp! We dropped Cheyenne-Skye (Cloete) off on Tuesday - brimming with anticipation and excitement... and were so impressed with how organised the camp and staff were! This is Cheyenne's first summer camp in Canada, as we moved here in September 2007, from South Africa.
I am confident that Cheyenne is having a wonderful time and that Camp Evergreen is one of the best camps to attend.
It is such a comfort to know that our daughter is surrounded by followers of Christ Jesus and that she is safe in the company of fellow believers!
We continue to pray for God to strengthen leadership and work in the hearts of every child that is exposed to His Everlasting love at Camp Evergreen!
Thank you all for your dedication and devotion to our children and to God!
With love in Christ Jesus,
Madeli & Franco Cloete

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...
