Camp is for who?

We have a saying among the staff at camp that says, "Camp is for Campers." It is to remind us that we are here to serve the campers that come to Kokrine Hills Bible Camp. All the staff end up enjoying themselves also, but our primary purposes are to teach the campers about God and to have fun--camp is camper centered.

However, there is one activity that I think I may enjoy more than the campers, and that is pulling the tube. The campers love being pulled behind the boat on the tube, but I think Blake and I might enjoy pulling them even more than they enjoy being pulled. There is nothing more fulfilling than to toss two teenage guys who have been taunting Blake and I saying, "I bet you can't get us off the tube!" Of course they love the ride and even love being thrown, but I am sure that Blake and I enjoy it more. During those three hours today camp felt like camp was for Blake and Brian. (I wanted to add a side note to parents of campers reading this blog. We are very safety conscious on the water, especially on the tube. There is a driver and a spotter in the boat at all times and we only give a camper a more exciting ride if they request it. Naturally, when pulling the tube with the younger kids, we are more gentle.)



We are hoping to go to the sandbar tomorrow to swim and pull the tube, so pray that the weather will hold.
