This past week I was at Camp Kulaqua in High Springs, FL! Every summer the middle school ministry out of First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks has a week long camp for 6-8th graders. It is so much fun but also a great opportunity to here about Christ and/or strengthen their relationship with Christ.
This was my 11th year at Camp Kulaqua but 4th year as a leader. I love being a leader every year. It is so much fun but as I have learned you start to get worn out by the end of the week. This first half of the week I am all happy and yelling at my kids to clean the cabin and what not. But by the end of the week I am just say
"Go do whatever you want, just don't kill yourself." haha.
This was the first year that me and my best friend Tim got to be cabin leaders together in the same cabin! We had a fairly rowdy bunch so it was good to have reinforcement with each other. Two of our kids accepted Christ as their savior which is AWESOME!
Okay, a couple funny moments of the week:
Me and Tim hid for mission impossible and if the kids found us they received a token. No one found us! We were literally sitting next to a tree in an open field! But apparently no one really found any of the leaders. I got to blob a bunch of kids this years! It was so cool because I felt like a real adult. Usually no one wants me to blob them because I am skinny, but this was my lucky year. And... our guys in our cabin were some of the best kids to blob. They went so high and would do flips and stuff. Well I have a mixture of water, ear wax and shavivng cream in my ear. That is a result of camp. We put a huge whole in one of the air games. And...the last night our kids wanted to play some game in the dark and I said that I didn't feel like it. One of my kids said that he would tackle me if I didn't play. So, he did. I had three kids on top of me and one of them was pinching my leg. Little did I know that the kid who tackled me was on the varsity wrestling team!
Anyway, I had a great time last week and I hope that our kids learned something about God this week that they can apply to their lives. =)
