Camp

This past week I got to spend sometime with our youth at camp. My church has an awesome tradition in camp. Campers range from 3rd-8th grade at Children's and Middle School camp, High School students are the Staffers, and adults are there only for behind the scene stuff, and you know the whole supervision thing. For decades past we have held our camp at Hillmont. But this year we ventured out of our comfort zone and headed to one of my favorite campgrounds, Linden Valley! (My Favorite camp is most definitely RIDGECREST in NC. Linden holds a close second.) I've attended Sunday School weeks and Music weeks at Ridgecrest through my elementary years. I attended camp as a camper at Hillmont 4th-8th grade and on Staff through High School. This was my 5th summer as an adult with our youth camp but not my first time at Linden. I spent time there working on TRAC camp staff my first two summers of college. Not to mention all the weeks at Cordova, Kingsport, Carson, Coldstream, Jonathan Creek, Deer Run, as well as many others. Needless to say I LOVE going to church camp! I have spent many summers and winter retreat at camp. Some of my best memories come from camp experiences. I have been to many campgrounds, but it's not the place that makes the camp.
