A Little Bit About My Week at Fairhaven Camp

Well, I got back last night from Fairhaven. It was an interesting week. It's an entirely different experience from the other camps I go to. Partly because I get to spend so little time with the campers. Partly because such a large percentage of the campers don't really know much about the Bible.

And, on top of my gallbladder stuff, there was a bug going around at camp, which everyone was coming down with...and I got it. So I spent a good part of Thursday in bed, and missed being able to go on their hike/cookout with them, and didn't get to do chapel with them.

I think being sick caused my gallbladder to act up a little bit...I wasn't in pain, exactly, but it was kind of like my gallbladder was saying to me: Hey Doug! I'm still here!

But on Friday I was feeling better, and was able to go to the beach with them, which was loads of fun. Especially building a sand castle, complete with moat, welcome center and gift shop, outlying villages, and (of course!) an outhouse!

Anyway, we had two or three salvation decisions this week among the teens, and except for Wednesday night, the teens were quite attentive in chapel, and fun to teach. (Wednesday night they played Capture The Flag, but only got to play for about twenty minutes, so they still had a lot of adrenaline rushing through their systems, and were nearly impossible to teach!)
