It’s good to be back home after a week with a very big family.
Pauline and I were ‘camp mum and dad’ at a youth camp at Serpentine over the last week; which means that including Emily and James, we had around 70 children for the week. We got to camp on Monday evening. The campers arrived the next morning and we all headed home on Saturday.
Going from having two kids to 70 is quite a leap. Thankfully there was a fantastic group of leaders that took most of the responsibility for looking after the campers.
It was almost like a home coming for me. I was very involved with the camps at Serpentine many years back but it had been around 20 years since I’d been to one before last week.
I’ve done everything in the past from being a dorm leader to cook to director to pot washer and lots more. It was good to be there in a very different capacity to what I’d been in the past and I certainly wouldn’t rule out getting involved again.
It’s so good to be able to build into the lives of young people and have a great time while doing it.
