Monday:
Dear Mom,
Wow! What a long day...after waking up at 4am to catch a bus, a ferry, another bus, and another ferry we took a short walk to the camp! Wow, the grounds are beautiful! It all over looks the ocean (we are on an island after all). I saw a volleyball net, a horseshoe pit, a bunch of canoes and kayaks, some motor boats, as well as a disc golf course! No shortage of activities!
So, we walked to our cabins...they are like five miles from anywhere...but comfortable enough. After dinner, (they call it supper here, isn't that wierd?!?) we went up to the worship place (another five miles!) and were led in worship by "the band". They were loud and really cool! And then Jeremy got up, I remember him from last year, he is so funny! He introduced our theme...WANTED. He says that God wants our heart. I agree! He talked about how camp is like getting a flu shot...where we get just enough flu so our body learns to deal with it. He says that we get a Jesus shot at camp...where we get just enough Jesus to not need him anymore. We need to stop getting shots of Jesus! God wants our whole heart, not just a little.
Anyway, I love you guys, miss you lots! Tell my annoying little sister that I am learning a lot!
Love,
Your average high school boy that went to camp.

Momsie and Popsicle,
OMG! I love this place! The band is so cute! They are all so talented and smell SO GOOD! They where V-necks and skinny jeans. They are really good at leading us in worship too. They are a real band when they are not here at camp. Roman vacation...no, Roman Holiday! Anyway, check em out! They have a few shows coming up too. July 4 at the fair grounds and July 31st at the liberty theatre. Can I go when I get home?
Don't forget to feed my fishies!
I heart you,
your average teenage girl that went to camp
Thursday:
Dear Mother and Father,
Hello, how is life down in the United States of America? Things in the great white land to the north are grande. Did you know that they spell things different here? Yes! Apparently we are staying at Capernwray Harbour. How about that?
Anyway, we are having a grande time! Our days are quite full, and they fly by so fast. I can't believe tomorrow! I am getting to know a lot of other kids from other churches...I ran into a girl in my spanish class and had no idea she went to church! I guess that is a good thing about doing camp with other churches in Gig Harbour.
I am learning a lot about God. I get a chance to to journal each day and think about what I am learning. We have talked about how God WANTS our heart, God WANTS our future, and God WANTS our commitment. Tonight Jeremy is talking about how God WANTS our friends. I can't wait. Anyway, can't wait to see you tomorrow! We will get home late...like really late. Like we will get home Saturday morning!
Love you!
