Summer Camp
26 Jun
My husband and I were talking the other day about summer camp. A ton of the Jr. High students that are in our small groups are at summer camp or going to summer camp.
The only summer camp i have ever been to was a week long church camp. But it was so fun! There is something about going for a whole week, and not a weekend that is fun, it promoted unity in my group of friend, it allowed down time to just chill….and i personally think there is something powerful in getting away from your parents for an entire week.
My favourite camp memory was when my youth group _tag went to Keystone resort in Colorado for Coram Deo (Summer Camp)….i know, a ski resort for camp….tough life. But one night we decided that we wanted to be the girls in camp that pulled a prank. So we didnt have too much resources so we took newspapers and packing tape and taped all of the newspapers to our youth pastors car with a note that had several demands to be met or we would bring the pranks back to the Springs (Colorado Springs). We were convinced that we were going to get caught in the process, one of the staff leaders was like right there is a breezeway and we were hiding behind a little shack and one of my friends was laughing so hard she peed….and i wont tell you her name bc that would break the bond of secrecy. But that is one of my favourite camp memories….the friendship and the fun and the memories….facilitated by summer camp…a week away. so so so much fun!
