GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING CAMP WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!


I know morning time just hasn't been the same since camp has finished. Camp is a unique and amazing experience that one can never for get.  Some of you might already be counting down the days until camp starts next year. I would like to use this time to reflect on the summer and give you the top 10 reasons you know Camp War Eagle has changed your life.

10)      You sit in your cafeteria or go out to eat with your friends and now you finish you meal in 10 minuets and sit there to wonder why it takes your friends so long to eat.

9)        You don’t know how bad your Chaco’s stink but all your friends do.

8)        You step on to the intermural field and the first thing you want to do is your tribal cheer and talk about the Three Flames with your team.

7)        You look in your closet and think to yourself I either have too many Red shirts or too many Blue shirts.

6)        You sit in class and when the clock hits 3:00pm your first thought is its time for MISH MASH and all you want to do is run out the door.

5)        You see a professor’s kid on campus or kid walking around in public alone and you first think why isn’t he/she with their cabin.

4)        You find yourself TWEEPING as you walk through campus.

3)        When you see a fellow camp friend on campus you’re day is instantly better and you two just can’t stop talking about camp as your other friends sit there and think “O great here we go again.”

2)        The phrase God is Enough isn’t just something you’ve been saying to your campers all summer long but its beginning to shape your everyday life at school.

1)        You are passionately pursing and strengthening your relationship with your Savior Jesus Christ.

           
Camp War Eagle will always hold a special place in your heart and you will truly never forget the memories you made here. It’s easy as the school year goes on to forget what God did in your life and how he used your life this summer to make an impact for his glory. You planted many seeds this summer and you might never see if they grew into fruit until you are in Heaven some day. Continue to stay in touch with the friends you made, talk about camp with everybody, continue to pursue God with everything you have, and get ready to hang out when we are back on campus in a few months.

TODAY IN TRIBAL COMPETITION… 1,2,3, (hold….. yes fake out)

Meet Ryan, your fresh new program staffer!


Full name: Ryan Davis Brazile
He wishes this was his full name: Wingblade The Arbiter of Truth 
Camp roles: Outdoor Skills Lead, Eagle Tales Producer, Skit Coordinator, Staff Manual Editor, Encores Director
Hometown: Bentonville, AR
High school and graduation year: Bentonville, AR 2006
Favorite place in NWA: King Burrito
Memorable moment from last summer: There was this time where this guy named Vlaad Bolsevskimolozolovzokopf ran away to Russia because he was heartsick over Tina Beverly.  But then he came back from Russia at Battle of the Stars, singing "Somewhere Out There" with Tina.  Obviously, I'm not Vlaad, but it was such a cool moment to see.
Icebreaker question of choice for 7 year olds:  If you could have any super power, what would it be.
Coolest camp trend: Disney Music in the Boy's Bathhouse.  I hope that trend continues.
Worst camp trend: The Dart Game
Staff member he would partner with in the Hunger Games:  Ryan Fuller, because I'm pretty sure, when it came down to the two of us at the end, I could pretty easily take him down.
Something you might not know:  I'm Jenny Loyd's brother.  A lot of people don't seem to know that.
Most excited about this year:  I've heard rumors that there might be a new disc golf course at camp.  Keep your fingers crossed.
Prayer going into this fall:  That I would not be overwhelmed by this new role on staff, and that in all the program areas I have a hand in, all the work would be done with the end goal in mind of serving the kids by pointing them toward Christ.

Here we hope to keep you connected to the heart and humor of camp during the off-season! Keep us in the loop about big things in your life too :). We pray your time since camp has been full of the best kind of new beginnings. And to you, #cwe2013!
