A group of my friends from church got to go to Camp Barnabas yesterday to do the Party People program. It was amazing! We have a group of our youth there this week as counselors, kitchen help, cabin moms, and barnstormers who get to clean a lot of toilets. We were given a tour of the camp by the girl that Camp Barnabas was actually created for. The whole experience is a little overwhelming. Seeing our kids give so much of themselves to give these campers the best week possible is such a blessing to me. They are with their camper 23 hours a day for 7 days. A very big responsibility. It really makes me think about how the camper's families live every day. It makes me feel very blessed to have the happy, healthy family that I have. It also inspires me to want to do more for those who are less fortunate. I'm looking forward to more opportunities to serve at Camp Barnabas in the future.
I've posted a couple of picture of our kids with their campers, and I think they really show the spirit of camp.

How wonderful. What a neat ministry.
