Following the service everyone was treated to a delicious picnic lunch with hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries, and lemonade provided by the camp. With each family bringing a dish to share, there was plenty of food to fill the plates of the 300+ people!
Then there were games for the children with ice cream cones as prizes.The adults enjoyed watching from the shade on the hill as the children ran off energy.
The first annual 5K Fun Run/Hike started at 1:30 with 31 runners/walkers participating. Each one finished the race to the cheers of those gathered at the finish line. For many this was their first 5K; for most it was the hottest one they ever participated in!
Pastor Donald Gallion shot off several rockets and the children ran through the fields to retrieve them. A "rocket show" followed, viewing footage from the rockets' cameras.
The last thing on the schedule was the Chicago-style 16" softball game for teens and adults.
Families enjoyed boating, swimming, fishing, playing games in and around the Rec Hall, shooting at the rifle range, and eating French vanilla and/or strawberry shortcake ice cream cones from the Snack Shop.
Many memories were made on Memorial Day 2012 at Peniel Bible Camp. While it was a very warm day in central Ohio, the breezes coming across the lake were refreshing. The fellowship with others from around the state and beyond was priceless. Many expressed their appreciation for a fun-filled day.
