Aug. 14, 2007 - camp
Last week, my daughter and I, volunteered at camp. She on dish crew, her 3rd week for the summer. I in riflery. I had such an awesome week. The worship time in chapel was outstanding. Great praise and worship music and great preaching. Then there were the activity times. I had 3 periods of time when kids came down to the rifle range. Activity time in the morning, cabin time right after lunch, and free time later in the afternoon. We all had fun learning together. Some of the kids were quite skilled with our air rifles others had never touched them. The most amazing part of teaching riflery were the questions the kids asked. For example, one day, a group of boys came down and asked me what I thought about dinosaurs. We talked for at least 25 minutes about dinosaurs, wether they were in the Bible, when they died out, etc. Another time the kids asked me what the light was on day 1 when the sun, moon, and stars were created on day 4.
When I was in college I worked at camp for 5 seasons. That was a very enjoyable experience. I always wish that I could have continued working at camp. Now that the kids are getting older, it is an opportunity for me to go back to camp.
