Top 10 Reasons Why Camp Lakewood ROCKS!!!


10. Camp Food...Oh my golly...SOOOO tasty!!!

9. Cabins...the bunk beds were a huge hit!  Taking ownership in their cabin title...Braydon was a Silly Squirrel and Bryce was a Turbo Turtle.


8. Horizontal Hour...Ahhhhh!  The counselors favorite hour...hee-hee!  Mail is passed out to the campers and time is given to relax or sleep QUIETLY!


7. Friendships...bonds are made that will impact these kids for life.
Turbo Turtles!
Whisper Chime during crafts

6. Discovery Time...I had SO much fun teaching the Bible story each day .  I was filled with passion and joy every morning to tap into the hearts of the campers.
Gideon's Army...


5. Godly Environment...the wilderness and lake are beautiful!
One morning I saw a family of deer...Gorgeous!

4. AMAZING Activities...opportunities that put the campers out of their comfort zone...adding an element of fear that had them leaning on the Lord for strength!!!  The Blob, Mammoth Swing, Zipline, and Tubing were the most scary, yet the most exhilarating!!!

3.  The Counselors...I was honored to work along side this team!  The unity that was evident put me to tears...these counselors were truly the hands and feet of Jesus this week...God is smiling on each of them!


2. Worship at Vesper Hill...campfire...soft guitar...large wooden cross watching over us...campers hands in the air worshiping...hands folded and eyes tight, in complete prayer...BEAUTIFUL! 


1. Witnessing Campers accept Jesus Christ as their Forever Friend...quite possibly the most beautiful experience!!!
