Miracle Camp...Again

Staley went to Miracle Camp in June with a group of her friends for her 3rd summer in a row.  Adelie's previously scheduled Miracle Camp session in early July was cancelled at the last minute due to a Covid situation with the staff.  After waiting for a few years and a tortuous few more weeks to follow in her big sister's Miracle Camp footsteps, Adelie finally got to enjoy her time away at camp.

Adelie and her friend Stella got to enjoy three nights away at Miracle Camp together.  

They got to play games, do crafts, share in cabin devotionals, attend chapel, buy snacks, and enjoy their taste of independence away from home.

There was swimming and archery and rock climbing and shooting BB guns.

Adelie loved her cabin leaders and made friends with the other girls in her cabin.

Adelie said that she wasn't really homesick and wants to go for a full week next year.  On the flip side, the house seemed quiet without Adelie around, and we noted that things just aren't as fun when Adelie isn't here.  Even if she's ready to be gone for a whole week, I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

I'm glad that Adelie FINALLY got her chance to go to Miracle Camp.  I'm glad that she has a sweet friend like Stella to go with her.  I'm glad that she had so much fun and got a taste of the fun that Staley has been talking about over these past few years.

I'm so thankful that Adelie had her opportunity to experience the fun and fellowship that Miracle Camp brings.  I'm glad she had the opportunity to learn and grow in her relationship with Christ in a new place.  I'm so glad that she got to spread her wings and take another step in her independence with some alone time away from home.  Hooray for Miracle Camp!
