SpringHill learning & fun!

The youth group started their day in God's Word then worked 8-10 hours a day at camp. Then after supper we would have a church session where Justin, Ryan, Mikey or Maxx would teach. We also would play before or after church. Enjoy some of the pics!

SpringHill Camp youth work week!

I spent last week with a group of incredible young women & young men volunteering at SpringHill camp. In this post and the next, I just plan to share a lot of pictures. I will share a post sometime later about what God taught me during the week. For now, let me just thank all of you who were praying for me! I made it through! It started as a rough week for me & ended with me feeling the best I have in a long time. Through your prayers, God blessed me incredibly! So thank you!!! Now, on to the work pictures!

I was in the kitchen all week so the only work pics I have are in kitchen or outside the kitchen. I did include pics from Debby & Corinne so you could see some of the other things the kids did.

The kids worked very hard this week. They also cleaned bathrooms & the lodge. They did other projects too. Whatever needed done, we did! The kids impressed me with their work ethic! They worked so hard with minimal complaints. Way to go GEC youth!
