Back in the office after a week of camp, a crazy weekend, and a Monday off.....lots to do but wanted to sit back for a bit and just reflect on some things from camp.
Brad Fogarty did a great job as camp pastor. I had never heard him before last week, and was impressed with his ability to communicate truth in a very up front, honest way but yet had the kids total attention. No gimmicks....just biblical teaching.
Crazy hot all week. I think Zephyr must be latin for equator. Free time was normally spent in the pool, pond, or cabins.
Of course, camp food is always one of the most scrutinized things of the week....and in this case...rightfully so. The portions were soooo small. I'm thinkin' weight watchers must use this facility for their annual conventions. Each meal could not have contained more than a dozen points. It was ridiculous!!
Our kids really enjoyed their family groups. I've heard them speaking about the relationships they formed with kids from the other churches there and I was really pleased they didn't just stick to each other the whole week.
Jeremy Lewis and his crew from Central Baptist College Station did a great job of organizing things. Being a camp director is a much harder job than most people know, and he did a great job.
Our kids are pretty incredible. This was the first time we had done
middle school and high school together at the same camp. I loved
watching the high school kids take on some leadership and mentorship roles with our middle schoolers. We also had some great chaperones with us that really made a huge d
ifference in the camp experience.Rental vans....$2,400
Snacks for the ride.....$20
Middle school boys going shirtless on the ride home.....Priceless!
The Man Game; Happy Butts; The Animal Game.....just ask the kids.
These are just a few things. You can check out a ton of pics on facebook, and the video will be coming soon. I could sit and write all day about the great week we had, but I have to get busy catching up and preparing for this weekend. Our senior pastor is actually giving his pulpit to the student pastor this weekend, so I'm preaching the main services. I'm really looking forward to that opportunity.
44 days till kickoff....Cowboys v. Raiders....How bout them Cowboys!!?
I'm out....
