Odyssey is done and in the can...so to speak. It was a great year with more than 80 kids coming every night. I can honestly telly you that I am "fried" and will be gone for a little while recuperating. But here's the video that we showed to day during the church service.

Odyssey Day 1
What's your magic number? Today mine is 84, that's how many kids we had at the first night of Odyssey. There are 5-6 more that I expect to attend tomorrow which should push us over the 90 mark, doubling our attendance of last year. Other magic numbers...
12 -- the number of volunteers we had making sure the registration and electronic check in went well, in fact it almost went flawless. Just an issue with our database, which is completely out of our hands and I'll have to call the tech support tomorrow.
20 -- the number of Pod Leaders and Assistants that are needed. They are the backbone of the relational aspect of the camp.
8 -- the number of people who aren't pod leaders, snack volunteers, or registration workers.
25 -- the number of large pizza's that were consumed.
Numbers aren't everything!!
What a great night. It was amazing watching the kids building relationship with their pod leaders and assistants. "Mad Dog" Sarah did a great job leading the music and Marty was great at leading the "Odyssey Basketball". There were a couple of trying moments but at the end of the night tons more awesome things than less than awesome things. Watch for videos to show up over the next couple of days.
