Camp Report 2010

Dear Booster Club Members:

The directors of the RMFFC camp wish to thank you all for your work to keep camp going. Especially thank you to our booster club officers. You have worked hard on our fund raising efforts and kept up with all the changes we had with going to on-line registration and made the organization of camp so much easier for campers and staff.

I think if I had to sum up camp in a few words I would come up with peaceful, exciting, spiritually uplifting, and rainy. We are so thankful for every camper that comes to our FC camp. They are truly a gift to sing, study, teach and play with. We had lots of chances to do all of that. We sing before every meal, at campfire and before studies. We study in the morning classes and in evening devotionals in the cabins. Playing is all the stuff in between.

Sonlight had added 5 new teams course elements so even seasoned campers got to try something new this year. They were again a great facility and staff with which to work. The food was “awesome” again. Their staff is always well trained and ready to serve.

The theme of our Bible classes this year was “In it to win it!” The focus was on the spiritual battle we encounter in our lives and how make sure we stay on God’s side of the battle. It made a great tie in to our game nights when we played off of that title with “Minute to Win It” games from the TV show. The young girl’s cabins had a devotional four nights of camp on the tongue.

Our 5 seniors are off to college now and they did a great job leading their teams. We had two seniors who made Florida College their higher education choice. Will Bean and Andrew Cowley. The other exciting senior news is that Bryan Dallas was baptized at camp this year, along with Nic Boyd and Justin Needham. We have made a DVD of the baptisms so that the parents can now share in that precious moment in their lives.

Our FC Friends were Alex Hubartt, Justin Alvarez and Chelsea Babcock. Kailey Bean filled in as our fourth Friend. They worked together so well. The FC friends are always a blessing to the kids, to camp and to us.

Dennisa Cowley, Chad Hymel, and Ben and Jen Greiving were the rest of our team of adult counselors. Ben and Jen were a great addition to our team of counselors. They are talented, energetic, talented and dedicated. Oh and did I mention talented? Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Dennisa Cowley always does a wonderful job for us at camp. She has her jobs that she always does for us and we appreciate her hard work but most of all her heart. Chad almost couldn’t make it this year because of a job change. He was able to come after all and brought a renewed zeal this year and a stomach bug. Only a very few “lucky” kids caught it.

Our craft was a hit. The campers painted hippo banks. They were so creative and they couldn’t wait for their next opportunity to finish them up. On the practical side they have a bank to start saving for next year’s camp!

Tami and Craig are professionals when it comes to camp. The creativity and enthusiasm they bring are infectious. They are also a godly example to all the camp. The rain never throws Craig off. He keeps it all running so smoothly.

Words cannot describe the joy we have working with these kids and adults. We hope that this camp will continue to thrive and be there for future generations. Thank you to all who make that possible.

Thank you for entrusting us with this opportunity to serve.
