YG Mission Trip 2023 - Day 3 (Monday)

Our first day of ministry was at Camp Royal. They are a Christian Extreme Sports camp that focuses on finding your true identity in Christ through activities like BMX bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc. The founder, Tim, gave us a tour of the renovations they made to an old school building to convert it into a summer camp.

Our team scrubbed and cleaned everything in the dining pavilion and moved the Gaga ball pit to a new location. You can’t see from this photo, but these panels were insanely heavy! Ethan and Avery were rockstars and didn’t break stride the whole way!

We helped clean out their passenger bus. Tim said it was possibly the first time it’s been cleaned since Camp Royal had purchased it!

The bathrooms were made of converted shipping containers fitted with help from the Cathey Family that owns Chick-Fil-A. The upper deck is the snack shack and common area. We helped wash the deck and furniture in the afternoon.

Pastor Levi led us in our devotions on Romans, told the story of Robert Robinson and “Come Thou Fount”. We ended with recapping our day at camp as a small group. We are tired and some of us are a bit sore (!). Looking forward to serving again tomorrow!
