One Amazing Camp!!!

For a number of years my boys have attended a simply amazing camp for boys.  I think the three of them, if you count their years individually, have spent maybe 17 years there.  It's a camp for middle school boys.  But the boys all love it so much that they go back for years afterward serving as "service team members," junior counselors, senior counselors, etc.  The counselors are not paid.  In fact they pay a small fee to be one.  There are so many guys who want to go back to work they always have MORE than enough staff. 

It's an ecumenical Christian camp.  It's a tough, action oriented, masculine, guy-kind-of-camp, if you know what I mean.  But the best part is the spiritual side.  These young middle schoolers learn that there are cool, young, strong men who pray hard, who love God with all their heart, and are not at all ashamed to say so.  There are daily prayer times and a major group prayer meeting.

This year my two nephews came for the first time and had Jim for their counselor.

Typically, these young men come home renewed in their faith.  Some of them develop a relationship with Jesus for the first time.

And ALL of them have a fabulous time being guys of faith.

Above picture was taken on the final day as we were picking up my nephews.
What a week.  Took this photo on the way home.  Two exhausted campers and one exhausted counselor.
If you'd like to know more about this camp, please email me.  I didn't want to post too many identifying details online.
