Just like the last several years, both my girls wanted to go to church camp this summer. As both Staley and Adelie will be in middle school in the fall, they were able to attend the same week at Miracle Camp.
Adelie's friend Stella went with her again this year while Staley joined her friends Olivia, Kelsey, and Kaitlyn again.
Adelie and Stella were in a cabin with other 5th and 6th graders.
Staley and her friends were in a cabin with other 7th and 8th graders.
The girls both had a great week and had so many things to tell us about when they got home.
There were lots of fun outdoor activities. Staley's favorite was tubing and Adelie's favorite was the zipline.
There were group games every day where they competed against each other. Adelie was on the Frosted Lemons and Staley was on Blueberry Pie.
They both made crafts in the craft shack...
bought candy and coffee drinks at the camp store...
made new friends...
and worshipped and grew closer to God during chapel and cabin devotion times.
The girls both loved their counselors and cabin aides.
And both girls said that, although ready to come home at the end of the week, they never got very homesick.
I love that my girls have a week to get away, experience a little independence, and spend time with friends while also growing in their faith.
I also loved that both girls could be there the same week. It made me feel good knowing they were there together, but it also made the logistics of the long drive easier than figuring out two separate weeks of camp like last year.
It was another great week of camp for both my girls.
Hooray for Miracle Camp!!
