objectives/themes
perhaps one of my favorite parts of being on staff at a camp is the orientation week.
it's a time where we (the four of us) come together and spend time dissecting and analyzing every aspect of what we do. questions surface like.....
i'm excited to see what God does with this program........and i pray that we don't get in the way
it's a time where we (the four of us) come together and spend time dissecting and analyzing every aspect of what we do. questions surface like.....
- how do we help the campers/counselors to build relationships?
- how do we enable campers/counselors to experience the Gospel?
- how do we encourage the campers/counselors to enjoy life?
- how do we ensure that every camper/counselor feels loved?
- how can we engage the campers/counselors in taking ownership of a curriculum/program that we have (in a sense) created?

i forgot....
i'm taking a brief hiatus from israel for the next four weeks to focus a little more on camp. our final project does not need to be completed until august, so there are more pressing events with which to concern myself at the moment.
and besides.....i forgot how much i love camp....
......and how much there is to discuss
yesterday evening began our orientation week. woot! ......and due to a couple unanticipated events our original team of six has been reduced to four returning staff from last year, and our originally scheduled one week of orientation has doubled into two weeks. thus, we get to hash out a lot more brainstorming/creativity/absurdity together......and even complete a few work projects around camp. it's a good time.
but if i may be so bold as to use this space to promote "logging camp" at big bear lake to any out there still reading this blog......we have some recent developments:
our numbers are low, and so we are still accepting campers and/or counselors who are willing and eager to come up (or down) to big bear for a week at camp. we're offering a week of camp at half-price.....and even that is negotiable for those who cannot afford the expense.
so please......if you know of anyone from the age of 3rd grade to a senior in high school who would like to come to camp during the week of july 27th or the week of august 9th, visit pccci's website and make a phone call. we just want to get campers here so we can share the Gospel story, and let them enjoy life, freedom, and community for a week.
and if you don't know any interested campers, please pray for us in the next couple weeks as we do promotional spots and seek out campers who are interested and available.
