The 2nd Annual Summer Enrichment Camp

I had the most amazing opportunity to work with nineteen children for a week. The children who were selected for this camp are from foster homes, broken families, and other adverse situations. 

 Each one of these kids startled something inside me. 

I love being struck- it's one of the most imporatant things in life,

 to be struck by another human being. 

It's imporant to me to get out of my own small world, my own relationships, jobs, life. 

I'm so thankful for this experience that poured new light into my life.

These children go through struggle, conflict, not the rosiest of experiences, 

BUT it's like their sweet spirits, smiles, and inner joy

 are trying to put the pieces back together. 

The mission of the Summer Enrichment Camp is to provide a positive and enriched environment

and fulfilling experiences for at risk youth in the Brunswick, Georgia area. 

Thank you to everyone who made this camp possible by donating time, money, supplies, and energy.  

Now for a look into The Summer Enrichment Camp....

Monday: Get Acquainted, Games, and the Beach

The kids playing the awesome game, Ships & Sailors

Tuesday: Honey Creek Ropes Course and Swimming Pool

NITRO

Objective #1 Get the rope without crossing the line

Objective #2 Get every member of the team over to the plank without touching into the pit
Objective #3 Have each team member standing on plank without touching/falling off

Adding lots of water to the pit

Lots of effort, frustration, motivation, determination, team work, huffing and puffing, leadership, lead to this...



Some great ideas like this one- innovative thought by Daniel, joining long sticks together with vines.
After putting in some work, then they got this...



Celebration of finally getting the rope, after at least an hour of trying



Yay! Now we can all go swimming!

Wednesday: Flying Eagles Ranch w/ Horseback Riding, 

Giant Slide, Paddleboats, and Nature Hike

Thursday: Boat Ride with Captain Rob to Cumberland Island
