Camp Nathanael...2016
It has become a tradition for our family...just as it was for me during high school...to make Camp Nathanael a destination during the summer.
Last year, the older two and I went for a week.
But this summer ALL of our family went.
Jason was the speaker for the week...and he had a blast sharing with the middle school campers.
Amy's good friend, Sophie, came with us...
and she made even more friends during the week - particularly Abbie...who happened to be the daughter of my friend Tony! We served together at camp back in the day!
Tyler's friend, Gabriel, came with us also...and their entire cabin had a blast!
I had a good time reuniting with the summer staff and the full time staff.
There was much to catch up on...and of course...there were a few pranks to be had too!
They involved saran wrap, balloons, sardines, and some lost belongings!!
Tyler riding Goliath...
and doing the challenge ropes course.
Amy riding Sunny Boy...
and trying to get him to mind her!!
Even though the little kids weren't campers this summer...they got their own camp experience.
In the mornings, they had Kids Club...playing games, making crafts, going for hikes, swimming, etc
and in the afternoons they got to hang out with rabbits, horses, and big kids!
Most of the afternoons found us all in the craft barn...
doing some serious art work!
Annabelle came to help out with the kids in the afternoons.
Daddy and Amy making shrinky dinks!
Tyler and Amy were blessed to have amazing counselors this summer.
Amy had Raygon...whom she LOVED...and Tyler had Richard.
We are so thankful to have godly young men and women serving at Camp Nathanael and pouring into our kids!
The week went by super fast...
and all too soon it was Field Day...
which brought crazy competitions...and a couple of ribbons!!
What a blessed week we had at Camp Nathanael!
Now we're counting down the days till we go back next summer!!!
