Black Hills Baptist Bible Camp 2020

     2020 was Makayla's third year attending Black Hills Baptist Bible Camp and Michael's first. The camp is located 3.5 hours from us, in Wyoming. A total of 11 went from Baker, 8 campers and the others as a counsellor, jr. counsellor, and a camp nurse.

Excitement was flying high!

     Their week is packed full with evangelist time, outdoor activities, choir, campfire services, and a dedicated time to Bible memory. They always come home exhausted but love every minute of it.I've got a jumble of pictures from several sources so they are out of order and some are terrible quality but here's a glimpse of their week.

Michael won a second place ribbon for Bible memory in his grade.

And Makayla won a first place ribbon for Bible memory in her grade!

Each day the people who get mail have to sing a song at lunchtime. This is all kids from Baker :). 

Joining choir is optional but Makayla wanted to and Michael followed her lead.

Archery is one of Makayla's favorite activities.

Not my child, but Michael said he did hang upside down on the zip-line. This is high on their list of favorite activities too.

Michael was disappointed about the 2 cookie only rule😂 

Makayla's airsoft team.

Lots of object lessons were used to teach. It certainly helped it stick!

     

      A few questions I asked both of them:

A lesson I learned:

Makayla: How to read my Bible better.

Michael: The lesson about purity and how even a little dirt makes Pepsi gross. And that Adoniram Judson was the first American Missionary to go out of country.

What was your favorite activity at camp?

Makayla: Archery.

Michael: The zipline!

What was the tastiest meal?

Makayla: Biscuits and gravy

Michael: Pancakes

What was you least favorite food?

Michael: The backwards throw on frisbee golf.

What was your favorite camp song?

Makayla: I'll Say Yes, Lord, Yes.

Michael: Be a Missionary.

What was the funniest thing that happened at camp?

Makayla: In the play the man playing Adoniram Judson compared dunking Oreo cookies to baptism.
