This is a great 9-year tradition of the Granbury Church of Christ. We host between 20 & 40 campers who are between 7 and 11 years old at Glen Lake Camp in Glen Rose, TX. I wouldn't even guess at how many people it takes to plan & orchestrate this endeavor. This year, two men agreed to "co-direct" the camp. There were months of planning, training, organizing, recruiting involved.
There are directors, nurses, counselors, junior counselors, Bible teachers, song leaders, puppeteers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, photographers, craft ladies, snack ladies, fishing guides,coaches, quilt makers (who make each camper a quilt to take home with them) & many more that help to make it all happen.
During this week, kids who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity get to swim, fish, make crafts are treated to these experiences.
When it's all said & done, I'm not sure who is more blessed......the campers or the camp staff. My prayer is that the campers remember the lesson they heard this week......that God loves them!
I know that it's a week I'll never forget!! That's what keeps us coming back year after year after year.
