Earlier this week, we had a group of six, seven and eight year olds stay at camp for a time of adventure and teaching.  I was the "speaker" for this group, but in reality, I was the court jester. Our theme for the three days was "Royalty", so I shared Bible stories through juggling and illusions.

The campers had a great time with activities such as archery, swimming, zip line and a lot more.  One of their favorite activities was frog pond, where the campers go armed with nets to our little pond in an attempt to catch frogs, crayfish and minnows.  Those who prefer to stay dry picked flowers for their counselors and the camp cooks. 

Our counseling staff is excellent this summer, in spite of their youth.  We have only one who is in her twenties, out of 14 counseling staff.  Sometimes youth and newness are beneficial, and I think that is true this summer.

I did five mini shows / services with the campers, and the staff also did lessons on great Kings and Queens from the Bible.  Mostly, the kids learned that camp is a fun, safe place, and I already spoke to a parent of a child who wants to return for our eight to ten year old session later this summer.  Of course, I said "Yes."
