So it was that time of year again where we took the youth group to camp and this year we were blessed with a 1 hour journey rather than the 7 hours it normally takes us. In addition to the 2 weeks down on the Bath and West Showground, they also did a week on the Cheshire Showground which is so much closer to us!
Anyway it was an awesome week, smaller (3,500 compared to the normal 10,000 people down south) and more intimate. There weren't as many cafe's and no skatepark but I think that kept the kids more focused on God. 2 of them became Christians and another recommitted her life; it was such an awesome blessing to be a part of it. For us as leaders as well, we had such a laugh and were so blessed by what God did in us as well as helping the youth. Though I wasn't too pleased when the youth group that was camped next to us didn't go to bed until 2am (though others have said that wasn't when they went to bed, it was when I eventually fell asleep) and were up again at 5:30 yelling all over the campsite! I was in a grumpy mood until 8am or so!! but was convicted of my attitude when the first session of the morning was on moaning!!! Ooops!! Anyway here are some pictures! Enjoy, I know we did!!!!
This is what happens when you mix teenagers and face paints!!! I'm under there somewhere!!
