Friendship 2011, Why Camp?
With 6 to 8 year olds this week’s clips produced some interesting answers. My favorite part about this age group is, although they don’t say as much, nothing beats their enthusiasm. For “why camp?” it seemed a lot of campers were influenced by older brothers or sisters. What’s great is that it’s the simple things Read More >
Explorer 2011, The Bond of Love

While the younger kids would go on about how fun it is, some of these campers expressed deeper reasons to return Read More >
Discover 2011, What have you learned?
This week’s shepherd, Roon, was a real blessing to both campers and staff. After asking several campers what they had learned about God/Jesus through Roon’s teaching I noticed that there was a one message that had really stuck with them. The last night of fireside the campers had the opportunity to write something they wanted Read More >
Discover 2011, Something New
This week I decided to change up the “What is something new you have learned” question and focus in on some of the interest groups. There was everything from crazy hair dos to duck tape wallets.
