Camp is on the brain!

(3 of my favorite campers from last year...if I can have favorites. Not sure if that's legal.  O well.)

Camp is on the brain as we're starting TODAY!!  Students get to camp tomorrow but today all the Counselors and my staff is heading up.  Camp (for the staff) started 6 months ago as we started receiving applications for counselors, but now we're just double checking that all the final details in place to make sure we have a great week.   For me, camp prep is a lot ike carpentry, measure twice, cut once. I try to double check all my responsibilities multiple times before ever leaving for camp so that when I get to camp, I can soar and not be worried about measuring on the fly!   I've found that things run smoother for me, when I over prepare. (Football training, conditioning, strategy at it's finest.  I was my best when I was SO prepared I didn't even have to think about it.) Jesus & Counselors (in the way we do camp) make camp what it is.  Our counselors are essentially like a pressure cooker for mentor relationships between students and leaders. Tomorrow, from camp, I'll post what I have always looked for  when it comes to picking a mentor. But for now, more camp prep!
