Mud+Kids=Fun!!!!!!

Week #3 is in the history books at our Crossings at Cedarmore Camp. It was the largest week so far with over 380 campers on the main campus. The Lord did a great work in the hearts of the kids. Spiritually speaking, it was probably the best week so far this summer.

It's amazing what kind of fun you can have with dirt and some water. One of the highlights for the kids is our Slurgefest. It's a cheap way of having alot of fun. I'll probably try it out next week.

Week 2 of Camp Concludes

Week 2 of our Crossings at Cedarmore camp is history. God certainly did a great work this week. It's amazing what happens when you love and hang out with kids all week. God changes them and He also changes us.

It seems that our new lake and horse-trail have been very successful. The kids love the horses. There's something almost majestic about a horse. They are alot of fun. I've really enjoyed just going down at night and hanging out with them. Camp is exhausting, but alot of fun at the same time. The true "fruit" of camp will never be fully known in this lifetime. We just can trust God that there will be.

Blobbing Is Fun, Unless You Hurt Yourself

Well, I survived my first Crossings at Cedarmore camp. We worked long days to get the camp ready to go and our first week went off well. I got launched off of the Super Blob a few days before the camp opened. We were guinea pigs of sorts to see how the blob and the zip lines would work. As you can see from the picture, I caught some nice air.

The problem was, I didn't lean forward enough, so when I landed--it was flat on my back. It felt like someone smacked me across my lower back as hard as they could. It hurt pretty bad. Anyways, we worked those issues out and we now know what to do and what not to do--after about 5 days my back stopped hurting.

I will attempt to post about how the camps are going. There isn't much time in the day to blog. I'll try to late at night or in the morning. It's exciting to see these young kids come out to camp and have so much fun. It's even more exciting to hear them respond to God and His truth throughout the week.
