Primary Camp Wrap Up aaaaand....Junior Camp!

Primary camp was a wonderful time for campers and counselors alike! Despite being severely short-staffed, most of camp went smoothly. Our counselors rose to the challenge of being hugely outnumbered, and the extra staff worked extra hard to serve food, support counselors, run games, and anything else that was needed. When asking the campers what their favorite part of camp was, the answers varied between swimming, chapel, the slip n slide, snack shack, game time, and craft time. Really I think they were just having fun 100% of the time. This group is both our smallest (60ish kids) and youngest (1st-3rd grade).


Slip n Slide fun on a beautiful day

This afternoon (After a much-needed 28 hour break/training sessions), our junior camp kids came in- all 150+ of them. Once again, we are understaffed. Each counselor is on their own with up to 9 fourth through sixth graders. Please pray for extra servings of grace, strength, and patience for each of our counselors. Many of our staff have been here for the last camp or two, and we're getting tired and seem to have less patience than we did last week. Please pray for RENEWED energy. We are all looking forward to this camp despite the challenges. This is a fun age, where the kids are still young enough to sing silly camp songs and go down the slip n slide twenty times, but old enough to have serious conversations and dig into the Word. As always, we are praying for opportunities to share Jesus' love with our campers. So far things are going well. All of the cabins are sleeping, despite some very loud. booming fireworks going off on the beach (a week late, people), and we are ready for a big huge day of FUN tomorrow!
