Camp!
This past week (July 14-22) I was at a camp with my youth group. This is my youth group's 5th year going to Rough Acres, which is just past Houston, BC, and is my third. We basically go there and take over the camp. We provide the camp with cabin leaders, support staff, kitchen staff and someone to run everything. This year I was up there for the Jr. Girls camp. It was so much fun!
These are my girls. The one sitting beside me is my co-leader, Karen.
We have a tradition that every year we have a crazy utensil night. It's so fun and extremely messy because you get things like whisks to eat spaghetti with.
Waterfront was a huge hit for all the girls. We have things like surf bikes, canoes and a large water trampoline.
Every year, at the end of the week, each cabin does a talent show. This year, Karen and I dressed up as old ladies and sang a story about how we once had this cabin full of crazy girls. It was a big hit!

So... I wrote you this nice sentimental (sp?) kind of comment about what kind of impact you had on the life of your kids at camp. I don't know what happened. I guess it didn't publish. If it shows up later I'll feel really dumb. Anyway, thank you so much for being willing to give of yourself and invest in these kids. I remember some very specific things from my counsellors the years at camp, and I know your kids will remember the things you said and did. God bless.
Hi Rosie,
I forgot to ask you how camp went and was happy to read about it now.
What a great experience for you and for those girls! Looks like you had tons of fun and made great memories for them.
