There isn't a better way to be apart of the church than to jump in with both feet! And when the opportunity comes 4 days after you move in well, you take it!
City Bible Church had its kids camp this week and let me tell you, it was amazing. It reminded me of my own camp experiences in grade school. I wasn't sure that even existed anymore. Real camp grounds with great services and fantastic adults pouring into every kid.
Nicholas started his adventures on Monday as an overnight camper. As a student entering 6th grade he was the seniority class but this was his first time staying away from home (except of course, Grammy's house). He did wonderfully.
On Tuesday, Peter got his chance to make some new friends. He had day camp on the same camp grounds as Nicholas. I didn't see much of him even though Andrew and I were also hanging out for the entire day. Peter had his team flag and followed the fun in the sun with much enthusiasm. {Peter even had a gluten-free meal option provided by the staff! Made this mom cry, literally.}
Finally, for Wednesday and Thursday CBC had Kiddo Camp for George and Annika. This included at least one parent's attendance, we had two. We loved all being in the same place as a family. And that we all got to meet a lot of other moms, dads, kids, and the pastoral team in one concentrated effort! But it wouldn't have happened if everyone we met had open arms and huge hearts to welcome us right into the fold. I love this place.
