I just got back from camp yesterday. Ironwood Teen Camp 7, August 6-11, 2007, was a truly amazing, life-changing experience for me. The week was so much fun, but the best part is that it was not about the fun, but about growing closer to and glorifying God. I was challenged spiritually in ways I have never been challenged before, and my spiritual maturity has grown more in the past week than it has in a long time. In a word, AWESOME!!!!
I took a lot of pictures, but I haven't gotten them developed yet -- these are just pics I got off the website, here. I had the greatest time... The games we played were lots of fun, games like Derailment (which involved a pit of muddy water, two bridges, and inner tubes), Fool's Gold Flim Flam (which meant kicking balls and running around cones), and others. We could participate in several fun activities, which for me meant I shot .22's and shotguns, went cano
eing, threw hatchets, and climbed a rock wall. Also available were activities such as wire peeps (making people shapes out of wire), laser tag, sidewalk chalk, crafts, balloon sculpting, archery, blowguns, human foosball, and fishing. Certain periods of time throughout the day were free time, where you could hang out at Rivertown, talking, playing games like rocket ball or ping pong, and buying sodas, snowcones, candy bars, or popsicles.

ended morning and evening chapel services, memorized Bible verses, had personal and cabin devotional times, and sang and prayed before meals. The whole purpose for the week's camp experience was to draw closer to God and have fun doing it -- and we succeeded! I'll have more to say later, including more pictures. IRONWOOD IS THE BEST!!

It sounds like a great experience, all the way around. I look forward to the more you have to say about it. So many people think you can't be Christian and have a good time, too.
