Having an older sister can sometimes be hard because it seems that you always want to do what your big sister does. Adelie is no exception. So last year when Staley went to church camp, Adelie was determined that she was ready for sleep-away camp too. As this summer approached, the discussion about camp was a hot topic with Adelie. We weren't sure that 3 nights at Miracle Camp in Michigan without a friend to go with was within our comfort zone, but Adelie's friend, Stella, was interested in attending a one night sleepover camp in Clinton, IL. Adelie was all in!
Ready for camp!
The girls were pretty nervous when I dropped them off at Little Galilee Camp, but they ended up having a great time. Although they chose not to do the zip line or the canoeing at the lake, they still got to eat a few meals at the dining hall, go swimming, have chapel, play games, buy snacks, and sleep in their cabin.
The girls had plenty of stories to tell about their one night sleepaway camp experience and are already talking about going to camp together again next year.
I'm so glad Adelie got to have her first summer church camp experience, and I'm so glad it was a success!
