The kids are back from a week at Stronghold Camp. Stronghold, a Presbyterian U.S.A. organization, is a youth christian camp not too far from our home. This was summer number 5 for Tim. Megan has been going to Stronghold for the past four years, and this was Kate's first year to be able to attend. They all really love going to camp and look forward to the week each summer. It's a great way for them to learn about nature, God and getting to know and working together with others. We feel very blessed with the opportunity to be able to send the kids there each year!
This year, Tim was old enough to stay for the entire week. He had a blast and did very well being away from home for 6 straight days. We were very proud of him! Meg and Kate attended Day Camp and both spent the night on Thursday as a "try-out-camp" option. They all loved sleeping in the cabins, having camp fire at night and waking up in the woods in the morning.
More so than anything, the kids LOVE their camp counselors! Most of them come from other countries studying abroad or spending the summer in the States. This year, Tim enjoyed spending the week with his counselor from England and the girls both loved theirs from South Africa. It's a great experience to be able to get to know so many people from other places, play, worship together and share their love for the Lord.
