Favorite Things Friday: Church Camp — 6 Comments

  1. A working vacation you wouldn’t trade if you could ! I am so glad you find assistance for those that need it. I always wanted to go to camp but it just was not in our family’s budget. I finally went sometime after HS as a counselor one year (the 1st yr.Pettijohn Springs was open). It was great, but not same as a camper, I’m sure. Just wanted to give you a hint of how appreciated you are for thinking things out and usually finding solutions.

  2. My kids always loved camp. It got to the point they would save extra money so they could go for three weeks. Gander brook was such a special place for Michael and Katie. When Katie finished her freshman year at Harding she spent her first of several summers as a counselors there. We are so blessed to have a place like this for our kids to spend time every summer. Then we have a weekend there for just our congregation and of course in the fall we have the awesome women’s retreat with a couple hundred women spending time together.

  3. I came here from the r16sixteen blog.

    My husband and I help out at a church camp every year, and really enjoy it. It’s the same church camp I benefitted GREATLY from as a child/teenager, and it’s great to give back.

    We enjoy taking our kids, too.

    • Thanks Amanda! It is good to know there are some good people coming over from R16. We love church camp too and it is a special part of our summer each year as a family. It is great that you have such a connection to a particular camp. Mind if I ask which one?

  4. Last year was my granddaughters 4th year to go to camp. She looks forward to it every year. Last year was our adopted daughters 1st year and it took a shove to get her in the van to go. This year when I asked did she want to go, she JUMPED at the chance! WE love Jon, UNKIE Buddy (Fry) and the rest of the group and appreciate their efforts on behalf of our kids.
