Youth Camp

This past week, I went with the SHAPE Club Beyond to a middle school adventure camp.

For those who don't know, Club Beyond is a ministry of Military Community Youth Ministries.  I speak at our chapter occasionally and volunteered to chaperone this camp a few months back.  Youth camp is actually a lot more fun as a small group leader.  All I had to worry about was my four middle school boys.  It was great being able to dump any issues or problems on Megan (center), who is the Club Beyond leader for SHAPE.  The guys in my group had some great questions about who God is and how we relate to him.  It was actually a lot of fun to be with students again.  I still never see myself back in youth ministry, but the opportunity to help support student ministry without leading student ministry last week was great.  The camp facility had rock climbing, caving, moutain biking, etc., so it was a lot of fun on that side of it as well.  I'll post a few pictures online later in the day. 

Looking ahead, this week is going to be hectic.  We have daily prayer services for Holy Week.  I'm supposed to play in a golf scramble in Germany.  We're also getting ready for vacation next week. 

Several people have asked Emily about pictures from the marathon last week.  I'm putting those online as soon as I finish this post.  I'll try to post something before we head out next week.
