The first week... of an incredible summer.

Life as a camp counselor is beyond words. I can't describe it. Since I have been going to Camp Bethel every summer as a camper, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what my life this summer would look like. But after my first official week with campers, I can honestly say it was not what I was expecting. I thought I knew what being a counselor would involve. I have been working with children all of my life, after all. But just this first week touched my heart in so many ways.
Being able to lead a group of nine camper through a week's worth of activities and getting close to each camper, is so incredible. Answering their questions about God, life, and camp is one of the coolest things ever. =)
I love it so much, and am so glad that God has placed me at Camp Bethel for summer 2011. 
I can't wait to see what the next 6 or so weeks bring.
