Campers - I'm going to miss you!

Oh well, only one day left of camp. I have so enjoyed being around the campers. That youthful vitality lifts us adults up too. It's been great to see many of them relax into camp, open up and let their personalities shine through. I hope some of these pics show their joy.  Outside the Field House is the main socializing area before breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as the dining hall during meals. The young men are getting leadership opportunities as each one gets a turn at blessing a meal. I'm sure it's nerve-wracking but they handle it very well.

Before each meal a dorm is responsible for setting out water etc. and afterwards another dorm (boy or girl) cleans up.

I was often serving the campers on the "line" - invariably the compulsory salad portion. After three weeks I would still get some campers asking me if salad is compulsory, ha ha.

The campers love lying on the ground to relax or get a nap! They are used to me pointing my camera at them or being surprised by the click when I catch them unawares. Some, however I have to chase - they just don't like taking pictures!!

I'm going to miss them all and will be praying that they will take the wonderful knowledge and experience received and stay the course  and encourage each other to a rewarding adulthood in God's truth and kingdom.
