For the past few years mom and i have gone back to be the camp nurses for a short week of 3rd-5th grade campers. I went to this camp as a camper for many years, then worked 3 years on staff as a counselor. It is an amazing place that the Lord has blessed so much with an awesome full time staff and each year with amazing counselors to pour into these kids the wonderful news of Jesus. Mom and I enjoy going back to help and mostly we pass out meds to the kids and help with home sickness, because this is the first time most of these kids have left home.
This year Katelyn joined us and she absolutely loved it! She has started to really listen and watch her surroundings and with over 200 kids at camp, she had alot to keep her busy. The kids were great with her too, they enjoyed watching her without touching her.
One of the days, Shannon and her little boy, Owen, were able to join us for awhile before nap times, but since it was so hot, we mostly stayed inside the boxcars where it was filled with A/C! Shannon and i worked on staff together 2 out of the 3 years i was there.
Kristi, who is married to the director of the camp, was my first counselor when i was a camper, so it is always great to go back and see her and her kids, Thad really took a liking to Katelyn being there because he was not the youngest then!
We look forward to going back next year! Katelyn will be able to do so much more!
