It’s been way too long between blog posts. One of the strange advantages og my season
with cancer was long hours of contemplative space and no shortage of subjects
upon which to contemplate. Well, there
are always such topics but often little space.
There is little space now as well but I feel the desire to relate the
story of this year’s English Camp at the Palmgarten dorm of BFA. It’s been a few years since Diane and I have
fully dived directly into EC but it’s great to be back.
We are co-leading a team of 16 staff and get to work with 32
German and French speaking campers. Our
staff is, overall, quite young. Our son Carl and his classmate Daniel are
directing Activities. Two of our three
English teachers are college students.
Most of our group leaders are in their twenties. Four of them are former English Campers we had
at camp or worked with before.
It’s taken a few days to get my head back into EC Director
mode. I’m Bible Speaker as well so it’s
a challenge but the rhythms are starting to kick in again.
Our theme this year is Mirror Image – theme verse: And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate [a “reflect”]
the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing
glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18.
Well,
the kids just got in from afternoon English classes for their snack before the
afternoon activities so back to wearing the Director’s hat.
