Do any of you remember Virginia City from the classic TV western, Bonanza? Well, Camp Nathanael hasn't quite taken that appearance but we're working on it.
Our western theme for summer camp includes decorating the front of the Kentucky Bu
ilding where the snack and souvenir stores are located. Grace Henderson and Cathy Franklin, along with the help of mission kids and summer staff, have transformed it into an "old west" main street complete with trading post, dress emporium and hotel. A second entrance appears to be the back end of a covered wagon by which the campers enter the building. Once the art work is completed Mark Clark works his "magic" to attach it which gives it the full effect.
There are so many things that go into making a camp week successful. It's not only about cabin counselors or recreational leaders but those unknown, many times unnamed, individuals who contribute a special part to making camp fun.
Like Grace and Cathy transformed the Kentucky Building, we are praying the Holy Spirit will transform students all summer long into individuals who know Christ as their Savior and Lord.
That's what's happening along the banks of Troublesome Creek until next time.
