For the past two days I have had the opportunity to be a camp counselor at a special needs camp with Grace Fellowship Church and Capernaum Life ministries. The kids are full of joy and laughter and love to interact with all of the counselors. Some of them go to school together, others attend church together, and some are just meeting for the first time. Watching the joy on their faces as they get ready for camp has to be one of my favorite things :) Waking up early and hearing "miss miriam!! What are we gunna do today", the best feeling in the world. They may be disabled in some ways, however they have soo much joy in their hearts and do not care what others think of them or how they look :) They love each other.
Today was day two: County Fair Day :) Once we sang our songs and ate all of our crazy and somewhat gross food it was time to go to the farm (where we play games, eat lunch, and get in the pool). Our games for the day were fair games: duck pond, milk bottle toss, frisbee toss, and of course a pie smash and a dunking booth (these were for the leaders specifically). You get your tickets by playing the games, once you have five tickets your camper gets to choose to dunk you or pie you in the face :P Of course my camper decided to do both...whooooo and dunk me 3 times :) The water was freezing, but it felt good in the hot sun. Oh i almost forgot the hay ride, a classic county fair fun event. Just a small taste of my week with 12 wonderful ( and many more in other colors) campers in my blue group :)
See ya'll tomorrow :)
