Back from KidsCamp

Well, I survived my first time as camp counselor, and it was a blast! We took 10 kids from NewPointe and if I have my way, we'll take even more next year. What was the best part about camp? Spending unlimited time with the kids. Sunday mornings go WAY too fast to spent time with every kid, hear every story and answer every question. But five days with them was just about right. I had girls from church in my dorm and I think I can safely say we had a blast hanging out together.

The weather was nice, the speaker was good, and the food tasty. And thanks to Dawn (the other counselor in my room) I only got pranked once!!! Not bad from what I've heard. The only close call occurred right before we left. The picture posted was taken as we were ready to leave. Problem is there is someone missing...Madison! Don't worry, we didn't leave her behind, just left out of the picture.

Before I left, I just didn't know what to expect or how things would go. But now I find myself excited that in LESS than 12 months, I'll get to go back. Big thanks to Cassidy, Mackenzie, Madison, Roxanne, Katie, Sarah, Nicholas, Brandon, Noah and Christian. You guys were great examples of the virtues that we teach in Velocity. You showed friendship, courage and cooperation every day and it was noticed. Let's do it again next year!
