Wisconsin=Frozen Extremities

So the weather up here has been really weird.  Last week it was in the high 40’s sunny and all the snow melted. Well in the last couple of days the temperature has dropped and right now I’m pretty sure that it’s about -11 with the wind chill. And it’s supposed to be that cold during the day….DURING THE DAY!!!  So it’s recommended that under a certain temperature you aren’t supposed to be outside for a certain period of time. And I’m sure that this weekend will be one of those times that kids won’t be able to be outside for more that 20 minutes for fear of FROSTBITE!!! This weekend we have about 375+ kids coming for our winterXtreme (winter extreme for in case you didn’t get it) camp and we have tons of outside activities like tubing on a hill and tobogganing onto the frozen lake and broomball.  Just pray that kids keep their noses.

Just a quick update on the internship we are on our 4th week of winterXtreme. The 13 interns are in charge of running and programming the camp and it’s just been tons of fun.  What we have is a bunch of youth groups that come anywhere from Minnesota to Chicago and we have lots of activities and food and just a time where the youth pastors can bond with their youth groups and a time for the kids to experience amazing worship and a great speaker.
