Hi everyone! I can't believe the final week of summer camp is here, the time sure has gone by real fast. It has definitely been a fantastic summer of being a camp counselor and working on operational staff as well. Last week we had a great bunch of excited junior age kids from two different churches. We all had a lot of fun with the activities and time at the lake, along with spiritual blessings from the week's preaching.....many made decisions for Christ, including decisions for salvation 
. Of course, you know I could not get thru the week without playing a little trick on my campers, lol. I hid in the cabin and, when my campers showed up, I made a deep growling noise and jumped out at them. One of the campers screamed, lol, it was hilarious 
. All too soon the week was over with since the campers left on Friday instead of on Saturday like most of them do. As usual, I got a lot of hugs 
, lol, practically had to peel the kids off of me. Since we got done early, all the staff went to eat Fuddruckers for supper, then went on to enjoy a minor league baseball game, I love it 
. As for our final week, we will be "invaded" by teens, lol, looking forward to another fantastic week!

Hey everyone! Another week of camp is over and another one begins today. We had about 100 junior campers last week 
, wow that's a lot of campers. As it usually is with junior age campers, they were both rambunctious and excited, lol, a great bunch of kids. The kids had a fun time with all the activities, of course, being assistant counselor, I had fun as well, lol. However, I did make the mistake of forgetting to put on my sunscreen before taking the boys to the lake.....so yes, I got sunburned, ouch!
After that, I definitely made sure I didn't forget to use my sunscreen the rest of the week. I also am making sure I am careful around the camp mascot, Al.....this is Al:
Someone thought that would've made a funny picture, but I don't think so 
.
. So goes the usual camp pranks, lol, makes camp fun! On the spiritual side of things......the preaching was really good too with many souls getting saved 
. But all too soon the week was over and it was time for the campers to go home. Before they left, my campers all gave me big hugs 
Hi everyone, another great week of camp has come and gone, I can't believe how fast this summer has gone. Last week was exciting because we had middle school and high school age campers. I was especially excited because my three sisters came to camp, it was great seeing them!
! Enjoy the pictures:
Another fun-filled week of camp has come and gone, lol! We had 30 Junior age campers last week and, as usual, it was a great week of activities, games, preaching, and time at the lake. Due to the extreme heat, we spent time most of our time inside the gym. We also enjoyed some fireworks and watermelon 
on 4th of July holiday, it was great! Oh, and four kids received Christ as Savior this week 
! So overall it was a great week! As for me, I spent last week being assistant counselor and helping out on operational staff. However, my fellow staff members thought it would be fun for me to go sliding down "The Summit", a huge waterslide we have on the lake. I'm not too fond of heights, so they made a bet that if one of them scored a basket with the basketball, then I would have to go sliding down "The Summit". Well, it took them awhile, but one of them finally scored a basket. So, I was "forced" to climb that huge waterslide and slide down it.........I went screaming all the way down
. Sigh, such interesting things staff members like to engage in 
. Lol, actually it won't be that bad because my sisters will be here at camp this week, it will be good to see them.
Greetings from camp! I hope you all have been able to stay cool inspite of the crazy heat we've been having. Temperatures have been in the 100's for the past couple of days 
, way too hot for anything. We had a full week for camp......100 junior-age campers, fun! I spent my time being an assistant camp counselor and also helping out on operational staff. I also spent some time being sick again
, it seems all the camp staff here is sharing a bad virus, coughing, stuffy, etc. Ugh, not the kind of stuff I care to share! This past Saturday, I went home to visit my family (I only live about an hour and a half from the camp). I had not been home in a month, so it definitely felt good to see everyone again
, and they were all excited to see me. My mom treated me to a meal at McDonald's, some cold medicine, and plus there were plenty of leftovers for me to eat, lol.....moms are good at making sure you are taken care of
