Middle School Camp has been done since Sunday, and all those of us on staff have had the opportunity to go home and rest in between camps. We had a great time celebrating the 4th with our families and sleeping in a bit. Somehow in the rest period I didn't have time to wrap up from our last camp, so here we are...
Thank you for praying for us so faithfully during Middle School Camp! Camp was awesome; the campers really connected with the messages, devotions, and initiatives. At least a few campers accepted Christ as their Savior, and many grew in their relationship with the Lord. Our team of counselors and program staff maintained energy for the whole week and formed great friendships with our campers. Most of the staff went home, and those of us left will miss them and their hearts for Jesus and people.
This afternoon we welcome about 60 campers (1st-3rd) grade. This age is super fun to work with! They are filled with energy and laughter and are hungry to have fun and hang out with their counselors and experience all the fun that camp has to offer! As with middle school, we ask for your prayer for all of our staff members: counselors, kitchen staff, leadership team, nurse, speaker, worship leader, activity leader, craft leader, and extra staff. Energy, safety, and opportunities for spiritual conversations. Pray that our campers will come with open hearts and won't struggle too much with homesickness. This is a rough age to be away from your parents overnight.
I managed to get some of our crew together for some picture so you can see who you are praying for :)
Our counselors:
Joel (He does a little of everything), Kyle (Camp director) and Nathaniel (speaker):
MaKenzie (counselor), Maddie and Katie (extra staff):
Our pictures our lacking quite a few people, but here are at least a few faces to prayer for.
Thanks everyone!
