children's camp.

a great benefit of a catholic country is all the holidays that exist!
in the month of April, we had 3 long weekends! which means kids had off school either Friday, Monday, or Thursday (Thursday = Thursday + Friday) 

As you know, Mark and I are leading the youth group ministry here in Itu, are heavily involved in the married couples ministry, and have several tangent projects along the way. 

So why not dip our toes into children's ministry?? 

We sowed the idea of having the first children's (ages 7-10) camp for the church, and organized a team to help us lead/teach. 

Last Wednesday we gathered 17 children & 10 adults, and went to camp for 4 days. 
It was a lot of fun! As Mark so wisely put it, our favorite kind of kids are the ones you can hand back at the end of the weekend! 

Enjoy the pics!

Sounds like a lot of fun! And roasting marshmallows is a great thing for these kids to learn- a lifelong skill!
