Well, I have had easier days at English Camp. Today, for the first time in seven camps, I had to send someone home. After days of breaking virtually every rule of the camp and repeated interventions by multiple staff members, I was convinced it was time. Pray that the climate of the camp would not suffer for this - there are some good things happening - real progress with both repeat and new campers.

As you can see from today's pictures, we've had some worship time (we do that every evening) and we've had some "visitors". There was a brief appearance by Heidi (one of our counselors who brought along her dirndl) and the return of the legendary Ricki - a veteran of 3 previous camps (that's him in the mullet wig). His former campers that are attending are thrilled to see him - he's spending the night- and we are too (both thrilled and sending the night).

Tomorrow is a break in the "routine" (nothing is routine at EC) for "Adventure Day".
