Fire & Ice

Camp is always leaves me feeling the same way.

I never go there to do the same things as most people. Shortly after Nate and I actually arrived at camp and had spent a little time hanging out with Kiel (I've MISSED him!) and Kris (I've missed her too, but it hasn't been since last May), we figured out housing and then started working.

Which is why STAFF come, right? We're there to help. To love on the campers (237 kids and youth staffers!), give them breakfast, keep the bathrooms from becoming a disaster, and so on.

Or, in some cases, hang out with them. I did that too. And those moments are some of the coolest.

In the sweltering heat of summer, the crisp cool of fall, or the icy cold of winter, I always come home from camp refreshed. I'm tired, as always. But so glad I went.

It was worth it. I hope the other campers and staff felt the same way.
