Another Prairie Light Youth Camp has come to a close.....except that tonight we have a Family Night Supper and Music and Games....and a "give away" of slightly used items. It was a wonderful year. The kids were so well behaved.... and not just our group...... We heard that the kids were well-behaved in all age groups. Thanks for the prayers!!!!
On Thursday each kid in our group made a stepping stone.....with a design all their own.
Then on Friday we gave the kids a Kayaking adventure. I don't believe any of them had ever been on a kayak before. They really had a good time. Of course, some had better skills than others and so the kayaks were spread out a pretty good distance. A few tipped over along the way....but Sue said there were others on the river that were there to help right the kayak for them. And so we thank God once again for his protection for the campers on the water. The 5th & 6th grade group went tubing along the same river but at a different "put-in spot".
We have to admit that there were a few klinkers along the way that produced stress but for the most part I think we all (anyway in our group) agree that this was the best year yet. And it was also grand to have family members involved with the camp along side of us. My sister, Sam (really Ethel - but everyone calls her Sam) and her husband Jim were here (along with their church group) as well as our son Mike, Julie and 3 kids (Austin, Sidney and Colton).
And so now as many, many volunteers will be leaving soon (Mike and Julie this morning) , we ask for your prayers for safe travel. And too, we pray that what the kids heard this week will sink deep into their hearts and be remembered and built on.
Thank you once again...... Gary, Barb, Sue, Mike, and Julie
