| Lost teeth, holding hands, doing hair, bloody knees, little spats, sweet smiles, energetic hugs, illustrative devos, singing songs, lots of laughs, amusing questions, amazing stories.... the telltale signs of Junior camp! :) And don't forget: - Swimming in the freezing weather - Explaining to campers that 10 sprays of bug spray is more than enough - Making a schedule so everyone has a slot to canoe with you at freetime - Telling a camper they need to move and being told that "this is a free country" (lol) - Organizing who sits next to me at meals, devos and in Chapel And so many more funny stories about how amazing junior campers are. They make me laugh - I love them :). Jesus told us to have faith like a child, but not to act like children. Their innocence, their faith and their trust are such an example to me while at the same time some of their actions are also a great reminder and challenge to act mature and in a godly manner. So long for now! I'm off to attend a staff meeting, settle a dispute about the tooth fairy, bring restitution to two camp buddies, do seven girls hair, plan a devo, read my Bible, attempt not to get dumped in the lake while canoeing and many more adventures endowed upon me as a Junior camp counselor. Love to all - have a great rest of the week :) |

ReplyDeletei don't know...20 sprays of bugspray is almost not enough. especially after spraying it IN the cabin. ;)
