Ah, summertime. Relaxation, sitting in the sunshine, a cold glass of iced tea...
... and 128 middle school kids shrieking past, being chased by a youth-pastor-type college student wielding a sock filled with flour.
Living and working at a Bible Camp has been one of the best experiences of my life. Challenging, exhausting, stressful... and absolutely wonderful.
Because I see kids changed. And I get to be a small part of that.
I think your kid should go to camp.
And I'm writing all about it over at Creative K Kids today!
I never got to go to camp as a kid... It looks like so much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a lot of fun, Elise! =) You should see if there are any family camps in your area- grown ups need camp, too!
DeleteCamp wasn't really a thing where I grew up but it's so huge in the US! Once my kids are a bit older I will definitely be sending them :) Oh and the family one sounds fun too!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it does seem to be a big thing in the US!
Delete(And I love Family Camp. It's just amazing to see an entire family turn toward the Lord!)
I didn't really participate in camp as a kid -- but I have friends who still talk about their camp experiences, and still maintain friendships with both counsellors and other campers 15 years later. I love that you do this. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for you guest post! My oldest two are getting excited about going to summer camp in July--and saving money (I make them pay for some of it!) I am sure you are getting excited for your busy season too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for allowing me to guest post!
DeleteI think it's such a great idea to have your kids involved in paying for camp- what a great way to instill the value of work and of money!
My oldest went for the first time two years ago. Last year we traveled pretty far to go to camp and she is still talking about it nearly a year later.
ReplyDelete:) I never went to camp as a kid. My oldest never had the chance becasuse of her health but my youngest two just came to me asking if they could go to camp. Your words make me smile. :) I am heading over to read them at Creative Kids.
