Hi everyone. Glad to be back from two glorious weeks at camp. We had two camps running simultaneously. One for 7 to 12 year olds, and the other for teen ages 13-17. 120+ kids total. We were in Ardèche at 5000 feet. The weather was wonderful and there were no major troubles. Meaning: None of the campers were seriously wounded by their counselors.
I love camp. But I have to admit, I especially love it when it’s over. Those kids who hook up with local churches after camp finishes and make decisions to convert to God make it all worth while. Of course, there are problems for each year: kids that don’t know how to live in community; counselors that blow gaskets; fantastic amounts of food that has to be thrown away. But it’s all worth it if campers stay awake for my Bible class, learn to open their mouths and praise, and don’t hate you too much at the end of the two weeks.
For some of them, despite their counselors, do see Jesus.
