It’s hard to believe, but this will be my final post for our first session of camp. All our hikes have returned safely, and all our campers are beginning to reach for the back corners of their suitcases to find clean clothes. Yesterday’s white-water rafting trip was as fun as it was wet. It was a perfect day to be on the Kennebec. The sun was shining, and the cold, river waters felt great during and after a hard paddle. Many of our campers showed some apprehensiveness as they approached the river, but after the first section of rapids we were all laughing, paddling, and laughing like we were raft guides ourselves. The bus ride back to camp was quiet as we all enjoyed the chance to sit after such an action-packed day.
Its always this time of the session that we begin to reflect on all that we have done and seen. I hope that every camper here has done something they have never done before or learned something they can take with them long after camp is just a fuzzy memory. If nothing else, I know each of us has appreciated God’s creation in all its beauty and breathtaking magnitude. It is a blessing for us to be together, and it is an irreplaceable life experience to be together in this place.
