Summer Staff

As promised I am continuing to add pictures from all our summer adventures.  It's taken forever, but you know how it goes.  I mostly want to keep up with everything so that I can remember all the amazing times we have had this summer.

So, we spent the month of June working at a Young Life camp in Florida & it was amazing to be a part of that community for a month.  My job was to supervise & care for the team of college volunteers who came to work at the camp during the time we were there.  This is one of my favorite jobs because I love being with college folks & it's fun to be a part of their lives for a month & for some of them be a part of their lives forever.

At camp the college folks have a variety of different jobs.  Some of them work in the kitchen:

Some were life guards:

Other's of them worked in the store, snack bar, office, ropes course, etc.  They all had different jobs & kept very busy.  I really loved spending time with all the girls, looking at these pics makes me miss them.

When they were not on their jobs we would plan & work events for the kids, like make them a giant mud hole to have crud wars in.

One of the most special things about our time this summer was that the last 2 weeks of camp we had weeks for high school kids with disabilities.  Young Life has a ministry called, Capernam, & they minister to high school kids with disabilities.  These kids come to camp just like every other able body high school kid but their weeks of camp look a little different.  They still do most of the fun activities & they get to hear about Jesus every day & then talk about it with their leaders.    It was such a sweet time & it was amazing to watch these kids with their leaders.  

Here's our group of summer staff folks, it was a great month.
