Church Camp @ MindSay

Wee, I got to go up to Bethany College yesterday morning and spend the day at CYF Conference (church camp) with my second family. It was such an awesome time for me. After a week of 4-H camp with all the older kids talking about what a second family 4-H camp has been for them, I just wanted to get to see my second family. Because I'll never quite have that 4-H camp family the way they do. I just joined too late in life I think. But my church camp group has known me since the 6th grade. They've seen me grow up and grown up with me. They know who I've been, who I am, and they're eager to see who I will be. They're my second family, and I love them.

 

I didn't realize how much I was gonna wish I was at camp for the entire week though. Like, I decided that I could miss church camp to go to Florida. But now, I kinda wish I'd gone to camp instead. I feel like I'm missing out, and that sucks.

 

I took at least 90-something pictures in one day at church camp. I took 80-something pictures in an entire week at 4-H camp. Yeah, does that tell you something too?

 

We're leaving for Florida tomorrow!  I am so freaking excited. And once I'm done with this, I've got to go pack. It shouldn't be too hard though. I already know exactly what I need to take, it's just a matter of actually putting it in the bag. Yeah, wish me luck with that.

 

well i just got back from my two weeks at two different camps first was scout camp amazing isn't it i'm a scout then the second was my church camp which is the coolest camp i will ever go to just to let you know i'm mormon so yeah and i met a lot of hotties and my counsler was a guy who does stand-up comedy he was funny but yeah

"Family Fun and Fix-it Camp" at

Camp Gitchigomee July 1 - 4 has been changed to a less formal weekend similar to the May Long weekend cleanup and Anniversary Weekend in June. In other words, just come out and bring your own food. Enjoy the grounds, the beach, the canoes, campfires etc. We'll do a bit of painting, too, but don't worry, we're not going to be constructing new buildings or digging wells! :)

Phone Jim at 622-6263 to let him know if you want to come and what sleeping arrangements you might need.

(We might not run the generator all the time and so you should bring your food in a cooler with ice.)

We are celebrating the 60th anniversary of camping at Camp Gitchigomee (about to start the 61st summer).

(See info below and the webpage).
