Destiny Olympics & PD/TWR Joint Night

Destiny Olympics
Our original plans were slightly altered (mostly locations) due to rain threat, but things worked out in the end! We took all the kids to Joe Moakley Park by JFK T-station and played our games there. We had a relay race with two sections: speed and accuracy. There was the 3-legged-race, wheelbarrow race, and a few passing games like basketball-pass and frisbee toss. At the end was a combination of all of those games. My small group won the combo! ;P

There were a few complications with judging which teams got the points, so my team (Jevon's small group and my small group) was a little discouraged whenever we got shafted, but they were feeling better by the time we got back to church to play our water balloon games!

Octopus Tanks was a game where there is one shooter in the middle, and the rest of the team forms a "tank" around the shooter and lock elbows or hold hands with each other. All the "tanks" move around the field and the shooters attempt taking down the other shooters with limited supply of water balloons! I think the kids had a lot of fun with that; the counselors certainly did, as far as I know!

At the end was a gigantic water balloon fight. I got hit in the back twice by a camper, and at the very end a bunch of the counselors captured the camp directors and emptied the water coolers on them. I was told this is tradition...

PD/TWR Joint Night: SUPERHEROES THEME!
Some of the guy counselors made a deal with some of the boy campers: if the campers go to PD/TWR Joint Night, then they would play PC games with them that night. They actually went, so we followed through with the deal and played one game with them that night. We as in, I played that PC game too so I joined it. Only one camper could make it, so it was four PD counselors, one ex-PD counselor and that one camper! Beat down time!! Haha, just kidding. But it worked, because the boys showed up! :)

The events: dinner (pizza), ice-breaker game, create your own superhero using cardboard and newspapers, and then act out a scenario! I personally thought it was hilarious! There were eight groups total and everyone was really creative with their superheroes.

My group was Asian Chicken Woman, and her costume had arm and leg armor, mechanical wings and 7-core-energy-processor (I had no idea what I was talking about) as well as an Eternal Flame on her helmet to give her everlasting energy. Our scenario was fighting through an army of Beliebers and then destroying the Final Boss (Aaron Yip!)!

Final Boss: NO MAN CAN DEFEAT ME!
Asian Chicken Woman: (rips off her glasses) I AM NO MAN!!!!!!!!
(throws beach ball at Final Boss and victory!)

It was VERY loud but the energy was high, and Jevon finished the night off by talking about how Jesus is the ultimate superhero-- and he really saved all of us! I thought it was a lot of fun and I hope the campers and TWR kids had fun too! :)
