This week at Teen Camp, here at Uplands Reach, we had a blast pouring into the lives of young people from all around! There were campers here from Florida, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia! It started on Monday, June 25th and lasted through Friday, June 29th. I believe there were tears in many eyes.
Lunch was a time where kids could chill out, grab some treats from the Canteen (the snack shop), meet some new peeps, and simply have a blast in the small amount of free time they had!
P.S. They could also sit with members of Seventy-One! The band we were blessed to have for the week.
Lives were changed.
World changers surrendered.
Praises could be heard from miles away.
The His Reins MOD was able to saddle up onto Mighty Bucky
and have their try at actually staying on.
Brother Neal and Ora had a blast helping out with this adventure!
The Epic Worship MOD created sheets for the Upfest adventure on Friday night!
This was a night filled with a talent show, arts and crafts, music, and hang time.
Isn't this sheet beautiful?
The MudSlingers MOD involved making pottery and crafts all week long.
Maryanne led this Mod.
(I do believe it was one of the favorites of the girls.)
This camper's name was Jordan.
She created an awesome bowl that she got to take home and enjoy!
Teen camp was a week filled with laughter and tears. It was amazing to see these individuals grow throughout the week. These campers grew more this past week than most Christians will grow throughout their entire life. Their willingness was humbling. I do believe they taught the Summer Team here at Uplands way more than we could have ever imagined to teach them.
Ephesians 2:4-7
But God, who is rich in mercy,
For his great love wherewith he loved us,
Even when we were dead in sins,
Hath quickened us together with Christ,
By grace ye are saved;
And hath raised us up together,
And made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
That in the ages to come he might shew
The exceeding riches of his grace
In his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
