Summer Camp Awesomeness!!

Though camp ended awhile ago, the fun just hasn't stopped. Kids are in and out of the apartment since our team arrived and it has been a beautiful thing!

The whole gang at camp

As for camp, our amazing group filled the grounds of an old communist camp, hide and go seek filled the nights in the woods, and the goodness seemed never-ending. Camp flew by and no one seemed ready for it to end. 

The theme for camp was "transformation"; focusing on the decisions we make and how they define us. A lot of emotions came up during our meetings, but our small groups allowed a chance for the kids to really share what was weighing on their hearts. In between worship and lessons, the days were filled with games, crafts, swimming, hanging out and sharing a whole lot of lovin'.

Night Meeting

Uno Goodness!

Small Group

Highlights included a counselor hunt that became a two night event, t-shirt decorating, skits and nighttime hangouts lasting into the wee hours ;) Let us not forget: countless bags of sunflower seeds, a million (not to be exaggerated) games of UNO, morning exercises (of course), marshmallows galore and a whole lot of food!  The kids are already pumped for our weekend retreat planned for the end of October and, to be honest, so are we!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this time possible through prayer, support, encouragement, supplies, donations... you guys are phenomenal! God moved in big ways and we were blessed to play a part in it all!
