Last night as I was journeying north to retrieve Anders and Ryan from their Luther Point camp experience, I drove into Cushing, Wisconsin where the temperature was a oppressive 94 degrees. Just a mile or so north, I started to feel the air conditioning finally overcoming the intense heat. I glanced at the navigator/themometer in our van and it read 87 degrees. Upon entering the grounds of Luther Point (about 10 miles from Cushing) the temperature read 72 degrees. I was expecting severe weather as I saw tornado spotters out scanning the skies, but did not personally experience anything other than very large raindrops.
Ryan reported that at their closing campfire, a bolt of lightening hit Wood Lake as they heard a large splash. The boys had a nice time and didn't think it was too hot. They enjoyed carpet baseball, soccer, singing, swimming, canteen, meeting new friends, taking a shower outside and their counselors.
Outdoor worship and camping is such an amazing experience. I was afraid the hot temps would turn the boys off from this experience, but it all worked out.
