This Wednesday, June 23, KidzWorld will host auditions for actors and puppeteers. If you are interested in finding out more about the auditions please email deedee.baron@newspring.org.

Sorry I thought this was posted but internet connection messed us up a little here at camp.

Clue #2
The way of two parks is how you enter,
But the location is not actually centered,
38 from this end or could be 22,
That’s all the information for the second clue.

This is being updated by Mr. Dan’s daughter, Sarah.

My dad just called me and said that all of the power went out at camp so there won’t be any pictures tonight. Everyone is doing fine and they will see ya’ll tomorrow!

We posted lots of pictures today of the kids having a blast here at Sky Ranch. It has been raining on and off all day but that didn’t stop the fun. Our main focus for today was answering the question: Who Am I? And the answer is: I am God’s creation. The kids learned about God creating the world and them and that He created them just the way they are. We’ve had an awesome time learning together. During craft time we made some cool bracelets that have different colored beads each representing a part of God’s story. Ask you kids to tell you what each color stands for when they get home. This afternoon was free time and the kids got to do all kinds of activities including zip line, horseback riding, paint ball, frontier adventures and even swimming in some quite cold fresh spring water! It’s getting close to “shut down” time for tonight so pray that the kids will meditate on what they have learned about God and really begin to realize how much He loves them. Continue to pray for us. Looking forward to a great day tomorrow!

Rain has stopped for now.  Here are some pictures to enjoy.  Hey mom & dad from all of your kiddos.

Made it to camp at 6:40pm safe and sound.  Kids are having a great time with all of their friends.  Here are some of the comments so far:

“this is way better than my mom said it would be”

“do we have to go back on Wednesday?”

“camp is as fun as KidzWorld is at NewSpring”

“I can’t wait to go on the Zipline tomorrow”

Bed time…continue to pray for us.  Tomorrow the topic is “who am I”

It was an awesome idea! We would hide a Cosmo medallion somewhere in the Wichita city limits and then give clues and let KidzWorld families search for it. The families could work together and have fun searching. Plus the prize would be amazing–a 2 night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge!

Well, it was such an awesome idea that when we gave the first clues out on Saturday evening several families went to work right away searching for the medallion. And guess what? By the time we finished KidzWorld that evening, we had a winner!! Our KidzWorld kids and their families are REALLY smart! Congratulations to the Runck family, the first family to figure out the clues and find the medallion. We hope they have a wonderful time at the Great Wolf Lodge.

Needless to say, we want everyone to be able to have a chance to participate in the contest. So we are going to start over again and hide another medallion and hopefully come up with a trickier location and some tougher clues and put our families back in the hunt.

Be sure you check back on my blog on Tuesday for clue #1. Then next weekend we will hand out clue #2 at KidzWorld and post it to my blog on Tuesday. For those of you who just missed finding the first medallion, get your thinking caps back on and be ready to search!
