Checking out the camp the day before kids come
We were given the opportunity to do program for the Campaigner camp. Jessica, Brandon, and Chad were the brave souls who signed up to do all of the planning. For those of you unfamiliar with Young Life, program is the skits/walk-ons during club, and the mixers (games). They also plan the outdoor Olympics which is a handful of different competitions between teams. It was incredible watching the program come together, and to be able to bring something new to the table for the Liberians to potentially use in the future. We were constantly learning from them, and they were constantly learning from us. Sharing what works good for us, and them sharing what works best for them. Together we were able to improve our ways of showing Jesus to the kids. Young Life has been around longer in the states so they appreciated all of the input that we had. We were informed that the rest of us who were not doing walk-ons for program were work crew bosses for the campaigner camp. I was in charge of the dish washing crew. Others worked in the dining hall or were outdoor crew picking up trash and doing landscaping. Seeing and being able to help in the preparation for camp definitely opened my eyes to how much work goes into camps.
