I think I speak for everyone on the staff that we were a little bit nervous coming off of break for the second wave of camp. June went so well! How could July possibly top June. We were proved wrong, however. From the moment that campers started hopping out of their cars and heading to check in at the chapel, you could feel the atmosphere at camp shift. What was once a camp filled with nervous jitters, became a camp filled with sparks of energy and life. I remember speaking with several of the staff members, all of us exclaiming how wonderfully and flawlessly Monday was going, and it was only 11:00.
The rest of the week closely followed suit. We laughed until our bellies hurt and worshiped God like we have never before. I mean, what an awesome group of kids. From morning activity to night programming, all the campers were in the "Build 'Em Up Business", and here to have a good time. One of my favorite memories from the week, and possibly from all summer, was Celebration at the end of the week. After we finish up communion, we have a Celebration set up for the campers in the lodge. We have snacks, soft drinks and loud music and we all dance together into the night. This is a time that we leave our cares behind and we throw caution to the wind! We JuJu on that Beat, Whip and Nae Nae and Cupid Shuffle, eat snacks and enjoy each other's company. There have been no groups of campers that I have connected with like I did with this group.
What a refreshing way to start off these next 4 weeks, I am SO excited to see what the rest of July holds. I know, by starting off this way, the whole staff and I are feeling energized and pumped for the 3rd and 4th graders to come on Monday,
God Is GOOD!
