Hello Mother . . . Hello Father (Noel Goes to Camp!)





Last week, Park Avenue took 103 kids and 40 some adults and highschool leaders to Silver Birch Ranch in Northern Wisconsin for a week of Camp. I was surprised when I asked Noel to be a cabin leader and he said yes.








Noel took a leap of faith and, together with his High School co-councelor Jordan, he led a group of 3rd - 5th grade boys in canoeing, archery, tubing, horse back riding, bible study and other exciting adventure camp things. Noel did a great job with the boys and really enjoyed it. Our goal is to get both Noel and Theresa there from the week. next year. Here's some highlights:







Kyle, Sarah, Elise and Tahnea show us how sad it was for Peter and the other disciples after Jesus died.






















Kids got to try lots of new rec. activities including horseback riding, tubing and canoeing.



One of our goals is to give kids connections with caring adults. I was touched when I saw the boys of Louis' cabin during the first chapel time with their arms around each other singing and swaying.
