This was a new experience for me.  I have never been to Centri-kid, so this year I decided to attend back to back camps with our Students and Children.  We traveled north to Skycroft Camp in Maryland.  It is not far from Camp David.  We took a smaller group of 3rd -5th graders.  I was excited to spend the week with our Children’s team along with my middle daughter Sydney.  What a great camp!  God’s Word was read, taught, and preached.  Worship was very loud and energetic, and the food was plentiful.  All you can eat is a terrible plan for someone like me at camp.  my running could not hold back the calories. 

I really enjoyed seeing God speak our kids.  It reinforces the great teaching our kids receive every Sunday.  Susan Wanderer and her team are teaching our kids to love God, love one another, and to love serving the world.  I am so proud to be a part of a church that make every Sunday feel like Camp!

Well it has been a few years since I attended Youth Camp.  I was youth pastor for over 12 years, and so 12 summers we loaded buses and headed to a camp to meet with God, connect with others, and come home with a new vision to live out our faith.  This year I was able to go to camp with Pastor Zac and 75 others from our Mount Ararat family.  It was a great week.  It was a time of refreshment for my Spirit in hearing from the Lord and watching our teenagers fall more in love with Jesus and His Word.
