Just returned from Bates Creek Camp in Potosi on Friday. What a week! This was Youth Week and Johnny, Lauren and I all went down. (Alex isn't old enough for youth week yet.) 300 kids from 13 through 18 years. Talk about hormones :)
It really was amazing. I don't know where to start.
I've always been a cabin leader for girls week so I was new to this. We took 14 kids: 10 girls and 4 boys. They were truly a great group of kids and we had a blast. (As you can tell by the first pic!)
The crazy looking pic of us standing on a plank of wood was team building exercises.
And Johnny is sliding down a 200 foot piece of plastic soaped down and named the ultimate slip 'n slide! You will not see a pic of me on that.
The best part of camp was definitely worship.
Our speaker was John Stamper and in addition to being an awesome youth pastor, he has started an outdoors ministry: soelive.com. His ministry partners with Bass Pro Shops to present the gospel with outdoor shows focusing on students.
I don't have definite numbers, but I would say at least 20 kids were saved this week. Not including re-dedications made by students to live for Christ in a bold way.
Johnny and I aren't sure who came away more refreshed; the youth or us!
