Soul Patrol 2009

Josh was the director of the 1st annual 4th-6th grade retreat this past weekend!! He did such a good job! The name of the retreat is Soul Patrol, and this year the theme was Bullies of the Bible. It was GREAT! Dustin absolutely loved the whole weekend. They had campfire, chapel, they did a skit, crafts, yummy food, etc. Everything that goes with church camp....it was there!
Here is Dustin with some of his good buddies:

My friend Lynda and I did the craft this year--shrinky dink key chains and picture frames for their picture that we took of them with their cabin-mates. We had so much fun getting this ready for the kids. Now if only the oven there worked the way it should have, then all of the shrinky dinks would have been perfect!! Oh well. We know now for next year!

Here are all of the campers with Josh:

This is the bridge you walk across to get from the dining hall to the cabins and bathhouse. Very cool bridge--if you don't make it bounce and swing!

What fun! I am so glad Dustin got to experience this! This summer was going to be his first year of church camp--but it was canceled due to a flu outbreak. I'm so glad Josh and about 30 other parents stepped up and made this happen. SO much fun, and the kids learned a lot. 2010, here we come! Already planning for next year!
