What does the camping season mean to you? |

I remember when I was little, the excitement that grew when we were getting ready for camp. I couldn't wait to get there to see my friends and roam the grounds. I always liked it when we could get there early, sometimes the night before registration. It would give me time to get reacquainted with my surroundings and reminisce on memories of previous camps. One of the first things I would do when Mom said we were done unloading would be to walk to the other side of the campgrounds to the Lodge. I would walk in and read all the name tags on the doors to see who was going to be there. I was excited when I saw names of friends from far away that I only got to see at camp. I would usually then walk around the lake while thinking of what the week would be like. Slowly people would start making their way onto the grounds and before long another camp was in full swing. Year after year Brush Creek has been a constant rock in my life. I have felt extremely blessed to always of had Brush Creek in my life. The experiences there have definitely shaped me into the person I am today. It will always be a part of my life and I will always have strong ties to it. It is where I met the woman who is now my wife. It is where I proposed and got married to my wife. And it is also the place where my wife went in to labor with our first child. But most importantly it is where at a young age sitting around a campfire I realized my desire to want to serve my Heavenly Father and my desire to devote my life to the Lord. I'm excited about my 2010 summer experiences at Brush Creek. I hope that you are able to join us and that you too are excited and looking forward to wonderful experiences at camp. I know that the Lord is going to bless us and I don't want to miss out. How about you? |
