“Small groups have become a part of the programming most churches offer their people. For the most part, they are disappointing and short-lived – by the very admission of those who try them. There are two reasons. One, you can’t just throw a random group of people together for a twelve week study of some kind, and expect them to become intimate allies. The sort of devotion we want and need takes place within a shared life.”
We talk much about the impact of camp on kids, but what about the impact of camp on the staff?
That’s it – as staff we live together, play together and do the really hard work to create camp for the kids. In the space of 12 weeks we share life together, and the friendships created can last a lifetime. Camp is a unique place in our world, impacting each one of us. As we enter our last week and 1/2 of summer 2016 we are soaking up all the goodness of the community that has been created. We’re looking forward to the 4th, 5th and 6th graders this week. Mark Osborn is our speaker – it’s going to be a great week!
