Here are a few photos from our fun day! We played softball, swam, BBQ'd Carne' Asada, and watched a movie on the big screen in the chapel! What fun we all had! It was a much needed break after Angel Tree week, and a good time before heading into FV Junior High!
I have been completely remiss in my blogging duties the last two weeks! I seem to have a time like that each summer where my job and responsibilities here keep me away from the old blog. So sorry to have not kept you informed as you missed Angel Tree week entirely! In case you don't know, Angel Tree campers are those kids who have been scholar shipped to come to camp, and who have at least one parent in prison. They are a challenging group, and most of our counselors will tell you it is their favorite week of camp all summer! The kids are so open and because their life is not so easy, they really fall in love with camp! Here they are able to just be kids and have fun fun fun! Some don't get much of this in their lives and so we are glad to give them the opportunity! There were 16 decisions last week for The Lord! If you think of it, pray for them as they return to "life" and try to make sense of the decision they made at camp!
This week is Junior High camp. It is an odd thing to go from younger kids to junior highers! As you may know, they can be an interesting bunch. From what I gathered this morning, all is well and there are no major issues! PTL! As always, pray for Thursday night! I will be out there taking some photos for you today!
We are past the half way mark of summer. Here is the breakdown of what is left. Currently FV JH, next week Youth Camp in Main Camp. This means no western camp, but we will be doing the Gladiator theme! More info to come on that. Then back to FV for the last week there, and then back to Main Camp for Youth Camp #2. Three weeks after this one and we are done! I don't know about you but that seems so strange.....
If you haven't been able to send a note yet, there is still time. I will also change the staff names today so check the list as there will be a few new ones and some others deleted who have fulfilled their commitment and gone home. If I can name drop for suggestions..... Roxie and Mustang are a bit under the weather. John Wayne, Storm Breaker, Clint Eastwood and Starbelle could all use a note this week. All of our great counselors will benefit from your prayers and notes, so please don't send to just this list, but there ya go!
Toodles for now!
