Every summer some members of our family go to Still Waters Youth Camp in Indiana.
There are four camps- one for the 13-15 year olds and three for the 16-28 year olds. Not only do we go to have fun and to make friends, we go there to get closer to the Lord, and to recharge our batteries. Doing all the activities is lots of fun but it's just honey on the rock letting us lick it off to get what we need underneath.

Thursday, the second to last day of camp, is competition day. We all get matching tee shirts and are put onto teams with 5 girls and 5 boys. This years theme was" Identified". Us as Christians are identifying ourselves to the Word, and being odd balls to the world.
My teammates and I. We were on Team Echo.

On Tuesday and Friday we have Chapel service, and let me tell you they are the most wonderful services you'll every attend!!

A Couple weeks after my camp Joshua and Lillia went! Monday when you arrive, is pretty calm, you check in and head to your dorms. They also give you a tablet for things like pictures/the Bible/and also the schedule, because you are not allowed to have any electronics.
On Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings we have a Bonfire. Everyone gathers around the fire and sings together until its time fore bed. If you love good singing, you'll love It!
Everyday we have Quiet Time for an hour. Everyone gets under a tree and prays/reads the Bible/or listens to a tape. Its a wonderful thing that we need to do everyday.
The Camp is meant for young people to be a city of refuge from the world, to get closer to God, while not being distracted. That's why we don't have our phones which is one of the biggest distractions.
It has been a blessing in so many ways for me
and every year that I go I take a big step closer to the Lord.
As you end the best week of the year you already get excited for the next year!
Stillwaters seems to be a perfect name for this camp. I know how important it is to your family. Your pictures help explain why it is, Hope. Your personal comments are a privilege to read. Thank you for sharing. XO Grandmommy
