It’s a good day. After bidding farewell to Week 2 campers last night, we welcomed Week 3 campers to (what we will do our very best to make) one of the best weeks of their lives.
During the final approach to camp, “best week” may not be writ large on the horizon. Coming from any of the four directions, this is what kids will see in the final few miles:




Though each of these views embodies a certain amount of lovely nostalgia and roadside Americana, none of them scream WOOT! WOOT! in middle-school vernacular.
Nor do they radiate AWESOMENESS! in middle-school style.
But the final view before deboarding the bus makes up for whatever might be lacking in the final few miles.

Welcome.
We’re so glad you’re here.
We’ve been waiting for you all day.
We are going to do everything we can to make this the best week of your life.
We are going to do this because someone did the same for us. Because we want to. Because it fills our hearts.
(But mostly because we love Jesus.)
Welcome to camp, everyone. It’s going to be great.
