So i am at summer camp this week and it is one of the best weeks of work I can remember. Yeah sure there is a lot of time spent wrangling youth and playing silly games that make you look dumb, but man it fills my soul. It is wonderful to be have the privilege of sitting with and sharing life with youth in a way that is not possible otherwise. I have been struck by what way I have been able to connect with these kids. I know that though some of the mission trips we do with Group Workcamps there is connection time, but this is so much more intentional because your goal is to be together encountering God. It is a cool experience to be able to spend a week of your life pouring into a few kids for a whole week.
WE have done some hiking and crafts so far. We went to Harrper’s Ferry and got killer ice cream. And today we are going to have some fun on the high ropes course and then we still have some rafting and rock climbing on the agenda.
During yesterday’s hike we took a break and Kyle and Becky (our fearless leaders) read us a story on story rock. I thought it was great to have story time right in the middle of a creek. 🙂
Well i hear my kiddos stirring so I better start getting them ready for the day.
