Everybody's got somebody that cares.
For one week during the summer I get the privilege to care for God's kids, as the Creator's child.
Make sense?
There are a lot of little things but the point is this: it's an adventure. Sometimes it's more of an adventure than going overseas for a week-long missions trip. As camp counselors, we get the honor of sharing the Gospel with kids from all different backgrounds. It's pretty cool.
Don't get me wrong! I'm a huge proponent of week-long missions trips but there is often a language barrier, time constraints, and the added distraction of being far from home.
No, camp doesn't completely eliminate distractions.
When God compels a heart to serve at a camp it's an experience that isn't easily forgotten. God has a funny way of bringing just the right people to camp and puts them to the test every day.
Sometimes, to really learn, you have to teach.
