We had two vans loaded with kids and the two most popular questions during the trip were "are we out of Texas yet?" and "can we stop, I have to pee?"
We finally made it out of Texas and they screamed and squealed like we had entered Heaven!
The scenery was beautiful on the drive into Colorado. Once we got there we checked in and unpacked.
The week was filled with worship, a great speaker and lots of recreational games.
We got to take a picture with the speaker, Ben.
During one of the morning gatherings they called several leaders on stage to play a game and they called my name. Surprisingly, I won and was honored to carry around the coveted pink flamingo all day!
During the evening time we would meet together as a church group. This was such a special bonding time for all of us! These two girls practiced and lead us in worship one night! It was amazing!
As a leader, we were also responsible for leading a Family Group. I got 10th-12th graders from a couple different churches and had so much fun getting to know them all week.
We had 3 students accept Christ this week! It was really neat to see how the Lord worked in their hearts. What a blessing to be apart of this special commitment!
On the last day we were there, we decided to attempt to climb a mountain. It was rough terrain, but after about an hour of climbing and helping each other along, we made it to the top! We were very proud of our accomplishment!
Camp was a wonderful experience!! And we definitely could not have done it without the help of a Jasmine and Mary Zane! They were the perfect addition to this trip and selflessly gave up a week of their lives to pour into these students!
We are so thankful that God has put us back in a position where we can serve youth. This week has been a great reminder of God's purpose for our lives and our passion for youth!
