Don't let the word "camp" fool you. Any ideas I had about our High School Summer camp were completely blown out of the water by our experience there! First of all it is held in beautiful Glorieta, NM at this amazingly HUGE conference center...the boys and I stayed in a hotel on the property. Not really camping :) Every minute of the day was packed for the students with awesome messages, CRAZY games and fun free time options. ( Fire trucks were brought in for one of the games- shooting hoses at the kids!) There were 900 kids there, yes I said 900! Wow. Everything was so organized and fun as well as spiritually beneficial. I was super impressed.
The topic was on the Regeneration of the heart that happens when you are saved... Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."
And each of the messages drew from that theme to encourage the kids in salvation and sanctification.
Other highlights from the camp were: wild thunderstorms, fun people to get to know better, great milk shakes, weird camp food, beautiful scenery, hearing Andrew preach and 8 days of intense parenting challenges while dealing with altitude sickness and lack of sleep...lots of growing opportunities for me!
We had the fun chance to eat at "Bobcat Bite" which has made it's fame for the best burgers in the U.S. or something like that :) It's been on TV and it is quite a fun little place. And the burgers were definitely good~ We ate there twice that week
Weston had the fun chance to learn a few new tricks- playing volleyball and giving fist bumps
Watching the crazy games with the little happy camper
