Senior High Winter Camp!

It was a delight to run our Senior High Winter camp once again! We worshiped with both crazy fast songs

God This Week

Praise God for Water!

January 15, 2022January 17, 2022 Kristen 2 Comments #camp, #campdog, #camplife, #campministry, #offgridliving

It was at this point that our water turned to a sad trickle from the faucets. There was a broken pipe, somewhere under all that snow.

Summer Miracles

October 23, 2021October 24, 2021 Kristen 2 Comments #camp, #campdog, #campministry, #GodAtWork, #princessleiafreyja

In all honesty, most of us prefer non-miraculous moments. We enjoy participating in predictable ministry that isn’t quite so stressful as living through miraculous help from on high.

The Boogie Man Boogie

July 24, 2021July 24, 2021 Kristen 0 Comments #camp, #campdog, #camplife, #campministry, #campstories

How did a weird tangent during cabin discussion about the omnipresence of God lead to a scary story about the boogie man, morph into lots of dancing, briefly shine as a fairly accurate reflection of the speaker’s theme for the week, and then result in the camp’s winning skit?

Transformed

As a mother of seven, MAMO was not daunted by such a task. Before camp began, she prayed, watched, listened, and ordered a fabulous collection of transformers online that she had no idea how to put together!

Surrender

They threw themselves into laughing, shouting, raucous fun, all while deep inside their hearts were broken. I saw them sacrifice their right to grieve, so that these dear children could postpone their sorrow for one, glorious week.

Dinosaur Stomp

June 17, 2020June 17, 2020 Kristen 0 Comments #camp, #campdog, #campministry, #juniorcamp

One of them mused to a camp intern about spiritual matters.

“I wonder what it would be like to be stepped on by a dinosaur? That is the fourth thing I’m going to do in heaven, be stepped on by a dinosaur”

Harrowing/Heartwarming Parent Moment of the Week

Rainy Day Frolics

If the addition of one brother adds excitement, the addition of another should cause any activity to become both incredibly entertaining and somewhat hazardous! Which, as mothers of boys know, is the perfect recipe for fun.
