Handle With Care

As we come to the end of our fifth week of camp, I still find myself amazed at the level of excitement our staff has for each group of young people who enter our gates for a week of fun, fellowship and worship! I have watched children say goodbye to parents as they faced their FIRST night away from family and friends. I have observed other children and youth who are returning for their 3rd, 4th or 5th year of camp! Camp is a powerful time in the life of any young person, including our counselors. Camp is an opportunity for Christian community to be lived out with new relationships formed - with peers, couneslors and God, their creator.

I have been blessed to spend this summer on staff as the Summer Assistant Director and look forward to our remaining weeks of welcoming children into the arms of a loving, creative and dynamic staff in GOD'S SANCTUARY!!!!
