June 28th at 2:30 pm we loaded up the gracious partner church's charter bus minus two, 28 out of 30 is pretty good. The kids were gleaming and saying their last goodbyes, with only a few tears. Excitement though is what most were feeling. Camp Beechpoint was new to everyone this year and there were millions of questions. But, after the quick 2.5 hour trip we arrived to a beautiful place right on the lake with pretty much even more questions. All the kids got settled and myself included and the fun began! We were so busy. We had so much fun despite the coldish weather! Lives were impacted, tears were shed, laughter was shared and we are so grateful to camp beechpoint's commitment to giving kids in the inner city an opportunity they would not normaly get.
Here's just a few highlight:
Jonathon at the archery range...not sure he made it to the target...
Khalia getting ready to head down the zip line
Terry and Jaylin showing off their skills
Kenneth go-carting, I think he's enjoying it (by far the most enjoyed activity by the boys)
Ashley, Amanda, Dannah, and Indya canoeing their faces say it all. This was right next to the girls paddleboating that fell out..missed that photo opportunity!
BONUS: We had kids camp the week before camp with Kensington Community Church. This was supposed to be held at the park- due to a few rain days we had kids camp in Jeff and Dana's basement. 60 kids in the basement doing superhero camp, no big deal. They were awesome- kids and leaders!
Summer session for school starts tomorrow in the mornings and four weeks of programs in the afternoons. I can't believe how fast this summer is flying by! We are having a good time. Thanks to all those who've joined us, supported us, prayed for us, and loved on us. We coudln't do it without you!
