They've Gone Country!

Waiting for a bite, Deontrey sits by the pond while fishing today at Camp Sonshine. This week has been a week of new experiences for many of the kids. First time fishing, first time riding in a wagon, first time roasting a banana over campfire! I even introduced Gigi to a John Deere. (Sh wasn't nearly as excited.) It has been fun to be there as they discover new things, ask questions and become excited about everything going on.

There have been many times this week that the counselors have stopped their campers in the woods or by the lake to have them admire God’s creation. God created everything, but there is something about the openness and quietness of the country that makes you stop and remember that.

Each day, the campers loaded up on bug spray, caught a dozen frogs, and I think that one boy had a pound of mud on his shoe when he came home. But each day this week, the campers have had an experience that I know they will be talking about for months to come.
