Ozark Mind Games 2002 Report: Tuesday

Cramming for readings

 
 
Susie Smallwood, Ellie Warren and Kristen Whitehead work to finish their reading assignments before the first session begins.

Ropes Course: Kimberly and Molly

 
 
Ozark Conference Center has a top-notch ropes course for those who want to participate. Kimberly Church and Molly Haas work together 30 feet in the air and learn about trust in a whole new, hands-on way.

Ropes course: Kevin and Azariah

 
 
Kevin Clarke and Azariah Cornish harnessed up and ready to conquer the ropes course with cooperation and strategy.

Ropes course: Swing

 
 
John Schellhase finishes the ropes course with a flourish and a whoop by swinging safely from his harness. Ozark staff Will Clapp enjoys the fun from the ground. The ladder is for getting people back to earth safely.

A big storm approaches

 
 
Toward the end of Tuesday afternoon, a huge thunderstorm came in, putting an end to the outdoor recreational activities. From the top of the mountain, where Ozark Conference is, we were able to enjoy the grandeur of the weather. Keri Blunier and Elise Fitzgerald celebrate the coming rain.

Storm 2

 
Once the deluge hit, four guys (who shall remain nameless) got in touch with their "inner child" by stripping to their shorts and playing wildly in the rain. They thought about getting soap and shampoo (it was THAT hard a rain) but then decided against it.

Fajitas for dinner

 
 
Fabulous fajitas for dinner Tuesday night.

Students worshipping

 
 
What a joy to see many of the students participate in heartfelt worship!
