We're Here!

On Sunday morning, we were able to tour Crazy Horse Memorial and Mt. Rushmore, and even had time to stop by Wall Drug before arriving at camp late Sunday afternoon. From the time we arrived, our youth have been completely and fully involved in all of the activities. We are so proud of them! It has rained here the past two days so some adjustments have had to be made with work crew sites, and Kids Club has been inside in the rec center beside the school. But even with all of that, things are going really well. It is so neat to see our youth giving piggyback rides, reading to a child, or making friendship bracelets with their Kids Club buddies. Today we also visited the nursing home in Kadoka and sang songs for the residents there, had a devotional time, and were able to visit with them. Other groups have helped with Vacation Bible School here at the Presbyterian Church or have been painting (inside). All of these things have been done without complaint or hesitation from the youth. Our trip to the 38 feet tall cross had to be cancelled tonight due to the rain, but it did clear up enough last night for us to do our hike in the Badlands. Absolutely amazing! We can't wait to see what the rest of the week will be like. Please pray for nice weather!
