Camp is over, students are more than likely passed out on couches all over the Saginaw area. These guys and girls have been challenged in some powerful ways and already I have had conversations with several of them talking about the amazing experiences they had.
Today went by incredibly fast. From waking up early (many of the guys got a beautiful wake up song this morning) getting breakfast, then packing up all the bags it had already been a busy morning before the students even had the opportunities to open their bibles.
The group all week has started off the day with quiet times and today was no different. My hope is that they got a great deal out of these times that were all about them personally interacting with God rather than corporate worship. A cool thing is their camp booklets have several post camp quiet time lessons so that they can spend some personal worship time at home. This would be a great way to encourage your son or daughter at home this week.
The week ended with the celebration service where the students watched some funny videos (one called "Edwin's Corner" was incredibly popular), they worshiped, and listened to a great challenge from Jeff.
It was an awesome way to wrap up the week. It was followed by the hectic loading up of the cars to go home, but everyone got a ride and that is what is important. I want to say thank you to all the parents who helped transport kids. I know it is not as convenient as hopping on a bus, but it really helped many families financially.
I also need to thank my wife Maddie and Linda Smith who were are other two adult leaders this week. They were so incredibly helpful and I couldn't have done it without them. If you see them on Sunday, please tell them "Thank you!"
I could go on and on about all the crazy awesome stuff that God did at camp. What I really want you to know is that your students met with God this week. Do what you can to encourage them to be devoted daily to their faith.
Thank you for raising such amazing, well behaved, fun students. I am so incredibly blessed!
