Camp Goddard

I just remembered that I had not told everyone about my camp counselor experience. Back near the end of June, I went with our church to be a co-counselor for nine fifth grade boys at Camp Goddard in Sulphur, Oklahoma which is located in the Arbuckle Mountains. It was a very interesting experience. The theme was "God's Hand", which explored God's Hand in the creation. I don't see where the kids got all their energy from! The food was absolutely horrible! There were probably around forty kids there. The stars at night were beautiful! It was also hot, but thankfully we had air conditioning in our cabins. But, the last night there, I had a big theological conversation with a few of my friends in the youth group that got me involved in the conversation and our Children's Minister. It was a very neat conversation. Thankfully, I got to ride back with an adult and youth intern, plus two other counselors. I found out that the bus the kids and counselors were riding back on had air conditioning problems, so the kids didn't have ac pluse they couldn't get the movie player in the bus to work, so it was a miserable ride home for them.
