It is the last full day of our English Camp here in
Kandern. Our staff of 16 has hosted our
32 campers for a week now and tomorrow the campers depart leaving another day
for up to pack up, clean up and debrief.
Most of us (code phrase for all of us) are pretty tired. Check out the schedule below and multiply it
by 7 straight days with minor variations and imagine yourself doing it.

Yeah, we’re tired but on the other hand:
We’ve achieved community – if you’ve ever been involved in
this sort of thing you know what I mean.
We’ve learned why the (thankfully few) difficult campers are
that way and can better understand and reach out to them and they have made
great progress.
The gospel has been proclaimed and kids who already have a
relationship of faith have been challenged to grow in their reflection of God
(see 2 Corinthians 3:18)
We have a final night to bless and be blessed.
We’re tired – but it’s a “good tired”. There’s just nothing else like English Camp!
