Campfire Saturday–Junior A Camp!
Hello, Blog friends. It’s Campfire Saturday! Please enjoy this sneak peek at one of my blogs written for Camas Meadows Bible Camp. And please forgive my tardiness. It’s taken many months to recover from the bad concussion I received this summer and I still have a ways to go. But it is Saturday and I’m sharing blogs now, so please enjoy!
Our first camp of the summer was for children ages nine to twelve. Soleil (a former camp counselor from many years ago) was our speaker and the theme for the week was Journey With Jesus: A Road Trip of Faith!
On the first day, Soleil read Genesis 12:1-4 and told this new group of campers all about God calling Abram to go on a road trip with Him! Monday’s Road Sign: Invite Jesus! He’s the Guide!
Children have so many new experiences at camp. From giving a 20lb puppy gentle pats to playing paintball for the very first time, each experience is an adventure.
Our camp nurse, Trauma Tropper, keeps track one aspect of camp adventure whenever she joins us. You guessed it, the injury statistics!
First Nuse Visit: Sasquatch. Most Visits: Sasquatch with 30 total visits to the nurse! Cook/Support Staff only had 12 visits, but what was remarkable was that most of these visits were from a single support staff member! Fewest Visits: Mountain Panther with only 3! Most Cuts/Scrapes/Splinters/Burns: Owl’s Perch with 13! Most Insect Bites/Stings: Robin’s Roost with 7! Most Sprains/Strains: Sasquatch with 3. Most Head/Nose Injuries: Chipmunk with 4. Most Serious: Owls. Weirdest: Bear’s Abode with the back of an earring embedded in an earlobe!
Well, Trauma Trooper is even able to make camp injuries sound fun! Who knew a single cabin could obtain seven nurse-worthy stings and bites or that a single cabin would manage to both participate in camp activities and visit the nurse thirty times? Amazing!
Well, now that we have experienced Trauma Trooper’s Adventures in Camp Nursing . . . let’s jump back into Soleil’s Journey With Jesus!
And that wraps up this sneak peek of life at our Junior A Camp this summer. For the rest of the story, please visit The Campfire Blog!
