Hawaii Camp Update

It is 10:50 AM on July 2nd as I post this update. We are off of the camp property and staying with our friends the Underhiles. We have known each other for over 25 years. Phil is the Camp Director.

Here are a few pictures that will tell you a lot about where we are staying.
The camp is between two mountains at 5,000 feet elevation. At night it gets into the 40's. Needless to say, it is a bit chilly in our home away from home.

Home Sweet Home

In the morning we walk about 140 steps to...

The Little Green House

What's inside the door of the Little Green House...

Near our tent is the "Shower" area, which is a 55 gallon drum tank with a pump hooked to a car battery to run water through the tankless water heater to deliver a warm shower.

The Staff Shower Area

Usually the camp staff guys keep the 55 gallon drum filled with water each morning. One morning we were running a little low so I added some water.

Thankfully the meeting and eating area is not so rustic. All of our meals and meetings are held in The Lodge.

Inside The Lodge is the meeting area, the snack shack, the camp office, and the kitchen.
Here is a picture from one of our meetings.

Teaching Through 1 Peter

Here's Marilyn helping to serve the children at one of the meals.

Prior to serving the meal you have to prepare the meal. The kitchen is rather small but the meals they prepare are FABULOUS! We are eating very well. I'll have to tell you about "Musubi" in a future post.

Here is a picture of Marilyn helping to prepare "Bento" for an evening meal.

After the meals, the dishes have to be cleaned. The "Outdoor" kitchen is where the diswashing takes place. Here are a couple of pictures of the dish washing crew.

Well, that's an overview of how we are living while we are at camp. In my next post I will give you a detailed update of how camp is going.

Thanks for checking in with us. I'll get a few more updates posted before we get back out to camp on Tuesday for week two of Junior Camp.

Thanks for remembering our camp missions trip in your prayers.

With Love,
Mike & Marilyn
