In honor of camp coming our way, I decided to write this blog in red. I love camp and always have, however, several things have changed for me as I go into this summer. I have realized one small factor about myself that I am praying the Lord grow me in, I am not really great with kids. Go figure. College age, sure, the camp staff, absolutly, but kids... not my gifting. I have realized that is a fact that can no longer exist.
So, this summer, as I stand in front of the staff with a fresh off the printer new pile of staff training notes in hand, I challenge them as well as myself. I have been typing feverishly between the diaper changes, bottle feedings and strawberry shortcake reruns, redoing ALL of my staff training lectures.
I teach one session on How to sell your activity. Well, it is my revelation that campers dont come for our activities... so why do I spend a whole hour on how to sell it? Campers come for our staff. So, that being said, everything is changing!
For the first time in several years, I have a new vision. I feel as though I have a direction. For myself as well as our Staff.
I look forward to blogging about the summer and the same things God has been doing for the last 40+ years in a whole new way. Keep us in your prayers as we connect with every camper who walks through our doors. Pray that they find a home here at Brookhill. That is what this ranch has been and will always be... a home to anyone who needs it!
Nothing to do with camp but so cute pic!
