Kids’ Camp by Bullets

  • Camp was just as easy as I expected.
  • It was also as exhausting as I expected.
  • We had one girl get sick our first morning at camp.  Thankful, after spending the morning resting and taking it easy the rest of the day, she was back in tip-top shape the next day.
  • It was a super hot week (the hottest in my 6 summers in NC), but our kids met our challenge to drink more, and more, and more water.
  • It IS possible to be cold in 100 degree weather, if you’re standing in wet clothes.
  • The girls kept their rooms neater than I did (the incentive of an ice cream party is a great motivator).
  • Watching a game of dodge ball made me realize just how dishonest kids will be when they think no one is noticing.  But I was glad that our church’s kids were more honest than most.
  • We had some great discussions started by some great questions from the kids.
  • I look forward to going again next year!

Off to Camp I Go

While most people are enjoying a long weekend or getting back in the swing of things after the 4th, I’m heading off to a 3-night kid’s camp today.

While it’s not a “camp” camp (yay for using a college campus!), I’m looking forward to being at camp again.  I LOVED going to Girl Scout camp as a kid, and then later working 5 summers at a Girl Scout day camp.

Since this is the first year for us as a church, we’re only taking 8 kids.  And 4 adults…AWESOME ratio.  Plus, I already know the kids, so I know that we won’t have behavior issues in our group.  I look forward to getting to know them more.

So, since I’m going to be off doing the camp thang, I’m taking a blogging break.  I’ll be back Friday with an awesome camp update!
