What a joy to see seven teens at the camp that have been involved in our ministry. It was an eight hour trip to get to the camp from Huancayo. Praising the Lord for safety. I was planning on observing and being able to do more sermon preparations during the week but due to the abundance of newly registered campers and lack of men counsellors I was asked to counsel 12 campers for the week. The camp was expecting and prepared for 220 campers but 270 showed up at registration. Needless to say that the first night was pretty rough by sleeping in a tent or on a cement floor for our cabin.
It was good to see our children volunteer for representing their teams during the game competitions and get involved at the camp (although it's more difficult for our son Nathan).
Becca and Katie love their brother and that is why Becca didn't pop it over his head.
The night obstacle course had them running over, through, and under all kinds of things.
Katie really enjoyed her cabin mates and counsellors.
All the cabins were given names of Missionaries and Heroes in the faith, my cabin name was "Hudson Taylor". We painted our faces with the "T" for Taylor.
Katie was in the same cabin as her friend "Karen".
Christian was a counsellor at the camp. It was good to get reacquainted with him.
The orange team picture has Katie.
The light blue team picture has Nathan, Becca, and myself.
The counsellors and camp staff together for a picture.
The camp had a pirate ship activity that included getting dressed up as a pirate and getting wet.
The banquet on the last night went until after 11:00 with a nice meal, missionary biographies, songs, testimonies, etc...
Our daughters are growing up fast.
A special thank you to all the workers at the camp for giving of their time and talents for the Lord. The camp theme was "Holiness". We're praying that God will continue to work in the decisions that were made this year at camp.
