We're into our third day here at Higher Ground and what an incredible time we are having!  Jen (from Iowa) wrote us a blog about day 1 at camp and Rebecca (from California) has taken some great pics capturing some special moments.  Enjoy!  Emma

A stone's throw from the sea, Pennington Beach Resort made the perfect backdrop for the March 2013 Higher Ground Camp!  Campers were greeted by excited volunteers, the majority of whom are from America, and the adventure began!

After settling in and getting to know each other a bit better the three teams got together to come up with team names and make team banners.

The gentlemen met up for a guys time and chat while the ladies were pampered with face masks and manicures.  Separate guys' time and girls' time is a special hour each evening during camp and allows campers even greater freedom to be themselves.

We had the pleasure of celebrating a very special birthday and we were all treated to a tasty birthday cake.  Happy birthday Darren!

Our inaugural night was made complete with a sing-along around the campfire.  Candice said she enjoyed watching the fire burn and Lloyd sang with great passion to all the songs and encouraged his peers to participate.

It was a memorable evening and set the tone for an excellent weekend!
