SP 3

Hello! 

Well, our second camp week has come and gone. This week was quite a jump up from Fish Camp where we had 43 campers since this week we had 134 campers (7 more campers than we have bed for! We had to add cots to the cabins to sleep the extra). Here are some of the pictures that I managed to take among all the wonderful craziness of the week!

Me leading sharing on Monday night.
Community game.
HUM Day!
Me and Denise who I've known since I started coming as a camper 7 years ago!
 
Worship set-up on Friday night.
My staff bowling on Saturday night after campers left.

 I was really proud of how my staff managed such a big group of campers, and I had so much fun with this community. This community was particularly special for me because a lot of the churches that I used to come with when I was a camper were there, so there were some campers who I'd known for 7 years. One special moment was when a camper came up to me at the end of the week and told me that I'd been on every one of his staffs for the past three years and that it was hard to imagine Mt. TOP without me. Sometimes I think it's really easy to get caught up in all the daily stresses of being on staff, and particularly while being a director, that it's easy to forget the opportunity I've been given to affect everyone who comes through our gates each summer.

On Sunday we get our next set of campers, and I can't wait! Wishing you all the best on this 4th of July weekend.
