What I Liked About Today

At each meal, we asked our campers at our table what they had liked best about that day. Which activity center did you do? Which was your favorite? Which game did you like most at organized games? What did you like best today?

The first day, Emily told me, “My favorite thing was hanging out with my counselors and other campers”.

At lunch, the second day, Shayleigh asked “Do you know what I liked best about today?” We immediately responded. “Yes! Of course we want to hear what you liked best.” That day, she had been at breakfast, activity centers, organized games, dancing and Kid’s Club where a Bible story is told and worship songs are sang.

She answered, “Learning about God. And I love Him.”
