Wrapping Up Camp

Royal Family Kids' Camp Boise 2009

The last day of camp has come and gone.  We had the final installment of the sheepfold drama.  You may remember from yesterday's report, that one of the young sheep was enticed by a wolf to venture out of the fold and he is now in the the clutches of the wolf.  The shepherd, who watches over the fold has gone in search of the young sheep. 

The shepherd finds the wolf and the sheep in the wolf's den.  The shepherd battles the wolf for the sheep and although somewhat battered, comes out the victor.  The sheep of the fold can always depend on the shepherd to watch over them and seek them out whenever they stray from the fold. We learned that we have a shepherd in Jesus who watches over us as well and he's someone on which we can always depend.

Campers, counselors and staff members had lunch on the lawn and signed shirts.  This has been a camp tradition and gives us an opportunity to relax and recognize the friendships we've made.  Once we were returned to Boise, the campers, counselors and staff put on a Welcome Home performance for their care givers.  Everyone returns to their normal lives now, but in our hearts we are gearing up for next year's camp.
