It’s been a few years (Ok – several years), but I finally went back to camp!
That’s right – sleeping in a cabin, roasting marshmallows over an open fire….
See the pictures below?
These are the sweet faces of the kids I got to be a camp counsellor to this month!
I got to help them as they cooked a Potjekos (meal in a pot over a fire), work through obstacle courses, worship and pray with them.
Every morning, we sat together before breakfast and debriefed the previous day and how it went for them.
I already knew I loved kids, but forgot how much my heart could expand and break for them until we had 80+ in our care for a couple days.
It took me by surprise that my most favorite group was the group of all teenage girls. I’m not normally the kind of person that gravitates towards teenagers, but these girls stole my heart.
We danced together, laughed together and cried together. God taught me that it doesn’t matter how old you are – we all need a friend.
