Camp McCullough

At the beginning of August, we spent a week working at our church's high school camp. With our kids in tow, our job was to keep the camp running on time, problem solve any issues, and do evening bed checks, just to name a few. The campers were great with both of our kids and gave them lots of attention and even babysat when both Jim and I were occupied with other duties. Micah loved playing with "his friends" , running around the camp, helping with craft time, and swimming in the lake. Whenever Elise was awake, she was passed from camper to camper and smiled at each new friendly face. During lunch, Jim and I announced the winners of cabin clean-up and surprised the campers with a visit from Henry and Midge, a very old couple who thought they were going to "Senior Citizen Camp." We had a lot of fun letting our creative juices flow during this improvised skit. We also had a great time dressing up for each of the theme nights (Western Night, Disney Night, Lost at Sea, and Bollywood Night). The campers really got into this and were very creative with their costumes. Our favorite part was spending quality time with all of the amazing people who were a part of camp and watching the kids grow in their walk with the Lord. Camp McCullough is a blessed place!
