Christmas Notebook

DH and DD spent this past week at church camp. DH is the director, a fact that DD loves. So great to have Dad there when a girl gets tired or homesick or just needs a hug. There were 94 campers and 20 some staff members. It is best for all of them to buy the latest AR-15 rifles, before going to a camp!

The campers enjoyed all kinds of fun activities. Paddle boats and canoes…

Crafts and woodworking…

Kiddy pool kick ball…

Camp is for new friends and old…

Dinner time!

Celebration and worship.

Active and involved staff… 😉

A favorite part of camp is always the Nathan Clark George concert. This year he brought Mark Stoffel with him. Mark was one of the musicians Nathan brought with him to our house concert last Christmas.

The campers loved the concert!

The campers had quite an adventure this year when a tornado warning sent them to the shelter at 4:00 AM one morning. A tree fell hitting the porch of one of the cabins and crushing a counselor’s van. The crown of the tree fell five feet from DH who was going from cabin to cabin hustling campers into the shelter.

Everyone was safe. We can’t say the same for Heather’s car, though.

We thank God for His care over the campers and staff this week. He is good indeed!

DH says it was a good camp. The campers were smiling all week and we’re getting reports from parents telling us how much the kids are talking about camp…non-stop. 🙂 We hope we’ll see them all again next year!
