My Wilds Adventure

Summer 2007 was really the beginning of something that changed my life. This something is the Wilds Christian camp. I really didn't know the affect this place would have on my life, but I went back to this camp for two more years of summer camp, a leadership conference, and my senior trip. But all this was only the start.

During those summer trips the biggest thing I learned was that serving God can be fun. But I never fully grasped that until this past summer. 

Last September began the climax of my wilds adventure. I filled out the application to be a counselor. It was a far-fetched dream that I had no idea it would turn into a reality. But in January, it became a real possibility. I received my contract. Listed on the top was my position: counselor.

I knew right away that I was in! My parents did too. And looking back now, it's a place where I could serve the rest of my life. God has blessed me so much in allowing me the opportunity to minister to kids and teenagers all summer long. But even though I've been serving, most times I feel as though I learn more than any of my campers do.

These next posts (I was going to say few, but it will probably be more than that) are going to be what I have learned this summer. I'll share my memories and fun stories and maybe even inspire you to think about camp ministry so that you can have your own wild adventure.
