Camp Leatherwood

I’m back from Camp Leatherwood in White Bluff, TN. I had a good time. Everyone was very friendly toward me. No regrets. The camp director even asked me to lead a prayer during one of the devotionals. That small request made me feel accepted and part of the group.
Tim was in a cabin with the high school boys. So by default I stayed in the same cabin. Normally I’m intimidated by high school kids….probably because I feel uncool around them. These kids were very friendly and we seemed to hit it off after a while.
Things I Learned at Camp:

  • Spongebob Squarepants is a big hit even among high schoolers.
  • Biggest disappointment: My digital camera messed up on the 4th of July. So at around midday yesterday I lost about 70 pictures I had taken. I was sorta bummed out about it, but I tried not to let it bother me. Got some great shots of fireworks.
  • Some people can be very intelligent, but lack social skills.

I’ve made mental notes of the skits and devotional examples to use later on at other camps.
If you want to see pictures from last year’s camp, go here. Pictures of this year’s camp will be posted as soon as I find some time. (Maybe sooner than you think)
