Our First Youth Camp

Justin, Kristin and I went to Lake Isabella with 13 kids and another couple from our church for our yearly Youth Summer Camp. Typically we go to the Calvary Chapel Conference Center in Green Valley, but they didnt have room for us this year, so we stepped out in faith and planned our own camp this year.

We left last Sunday, 20th, and got back last night. The week was awesome for all the kids. We were studying the book of James and Justin taught about Godly wisdom. Our theme this year was Wise Men Still Seek Him. What an amazing thing it is to witness God working in the lives of our youth, convicting them of their sin, showing them his perfect love for them and will for their lives. To watch them grow spiritually is such a blessing.

We had a ton of activities, we went water rafting (dont worry, Kristin didn't go:), swimming in the lake & river, fishing, boating, capture the flag (water balloon style - with launchers!), and lots and lots of smores!

Kristin did really well considering. Today after church she slept from about 12:30-5:15pm. She was one tired girl!

One of the days, while all the kids and leader went river rafting, Kristin and I stayed at the camp. It was so hot during the day we were doing everything we could to stay cool. Kristin loves to drink water out of a water bottle, she is such a big girl! well I accidentally splashed her with it and she giggled, so I splashed her again, and again and again and ...well you get it, she laughed and thought it was so funny! Below is a video of her being "splashed!".

Camp was awesome, we look forward to doing it again next year, Lord willing.

Git 'er done! (Justin told me to write that, lol. the kids get it)
