This human arm puppet led us with our theme song, Army of One, each day.




These were two groups that performed for us during the camp. The one on the left is a team from Terre Haute, Ind. called HP KIDZ ON THE MOVE.

The team on your right is from the Free Methodist Church in Newton, Il.

There was 4 other teams or individuals that performed. Grace Stixs from Olney, Il., a young man from Greenup, Il., a young lady from Casey, Il and Heavenly Hands from Faith Fellowship Church all were enjoyed. We thank each one for sharing.



This is the Sr. Division of the juding contest. They were judged on entrances, exits, lip sync, and rod use.

1st place is on your left, the middle girl is 2nd place and 3rd place is on the right.

Holy Hands from Charleston, Il were the judges


This is the Jr. division winners for the juding contest. Our judges were THE HOLY HANDS from Charleston, Il.
The boy on left was the 1st place winner, the 2nd place wasn't present when the pictures were taken, and the third place is on the right of the picture.

These are the two that won the iron arm challenge. The one on the left was the winner for the Sr. division and was still going strong after 45 mins. The one on the right won the Jr. division and won after 30 mins.
This is a contest on whom can keep their puppet up and singing without coming down or leaning on the stage the longest.
Great job guys!!

The puppeteers had an opportunity of learning a verse each day. This year the two verses that were picked was 1 Timothy4:12 and John 3:16. When they learned a verse they put their name on a slip of paper and it was entered into our verse jar. They could learn additional verses also and each time put their name on a piece of paper for the prayer jar. At the end of the program a name was drawn and the one that was drawn won this puppet. This girl was the winner!!!

This was some of the puppets in the closing song at Boot Camp. The song was "Battle Hymn Boogie."
