Today marks the first day of one of my very most favorite things in life. Today was the first official day that kicks off my summer. Today, was the first day of staff training to prepare for the 8 weeks that are "summer camp". I love camp. A lot. I don't really like getting dirty, I don't really like humidity (mainly because I have curly hair) or temperatures above 80 degrees, I don't really like getting in the water (pool, bay or otherwise), and I am not really keen on that thing we affectionately call "low elements" (aka team building exercises that I always screw up). BUT, for some reason, I just LOVE camp. Even the heat, the water, the humidity and the team building. I mostly love camp because it is 8 weeks that I am able to share God's love with a bunch wonderful kids. I also love camp because it is how I have spent most of my summers for the last 15 years of my little life. This is only my 7th summer to attend staff training... and that is because, naturally, I was a camper for the bulk of my summer camp experience. I LOVED being a camper. That is what got me hooked. I have a late birthday... so at one point, I was the only "camper" who was going to be a sophomore in high school. It isn't even cool to go to camp at that point in life. But I didn't care. See, I LOVE camp. So, to kick off this summer I thought I would share with you a photo from my past- a photo of me with my "cabin" of fellow campers. Can you tell which one is me??

This must have been just before your pink hair years :)
hope camp is awesome. keep a look out for first year counselor Heather Cunningham. She is Thomas Kirker's "boo."
I would have been that girl next to you with slightly bad hair and not really teenage thinness. I hope this doesn't offend the girl, if you still know her. I can just relate is all.
