We have been back for a little over a week from camp.  It has been hard trying to get back into the swing of thing but I had to take the time to blog about the week with the children.  We originally had 40 children but after it was all said and done 36 children were on the bus heading for camp.  Some were apprehensive, some were scared and some were just very excited. We put on a movie for them to watch but once it was over the question of how much longer began.  Once we arrived at the camp they spotted all the counselors in the red shirts yelling and clapping.  One of the girls yelled “Look my name is on that sign”.  She was so excited.  After that they all started looking for their names.  We got off the bus and some of the children ran to their counselors but some had to be coaxed. Eventually they all  made it to the right person.  It was amazing to see these children during the week and see how they had begun to trust their counselors.  It was wonderful to see them sitting with their counselors reading their bibles and talking about the stories. 

The week passed very quickly and before we knew it the time came to pack up and head for home.  On the bus ride home most of the kids were listening to their CD’s and singing the songs learned at camp.  It was an amazing experience and I cannot wait until we start preparing for next years camp.
