Parent
: So, when did you go to camp?
Camper: I can't remember.
Parent:
What do you mean you can't remember? It was only 4 months ago, and you had
such a great time!
Camper: Does every kid have to do this?
Parent:
Nope, just you. Let's continue. So, you went to camp the last week in
July. Do you remember who you went to camp with?
Camper: I went with my friend from church.
Parent:
Good! Now tell me about your counselors.
Camper: They were really funny and nice. There was Lauren,
Andy, and Atricia. Or some "A" name like that. I can't remember it
exactly.
Parent:
I met Andy. Isn't he a boy?
Camper: Yes. But he didn't sleep in our cabin. His cabin was
just part of our small group.
Parent:
That's good to hear. Tell me about some of the things you did that you
liked the best.
Camper: Well, there was this night we had a huge campfire and made hot
dogs. Even though the hot dogs were really bad. We played soccer. There
was a "Backwards Day" when we wore our clothes backwards. We also went
swimming, canoeing, and kayaking. There was crafts and Bible Study. Lights
out was at 9:00 PM.
Parent:
Tell me what the Bible Study was like.
Camper: Every day we talked about something different. There were five
things: Jesus cares, Jesus creates, Jesus loves, Jesus forgives, and. . . I
forget the other one.
Parent:
Well, 4 out of 5 is pretty good. Tell me about the church part.
Camper: We sat outside on the big rocky steps and sang songs, and
prayed, and did communion. Oh, and there was the "sing-y" thing.
Parent:
"Singy thing?"
Camper: Yeah, it was after dinner. We got together in the big building
and sang songs and danced.
Parent:
What were your favorite songs?
Camper: I can't really remember. There were a few good ones.
Parent:
All this sounds like a lot of church for you. Was it too much?
Camper: No. It was "funner." There was more kids stuff. At regular
church, I don't get half the things they are saying. I can't make out the
words. At that place, I understood what they were saying. It made a lot
more sense to me up there. But sometimes the second part was long."
Parent:
Second part?
Camper: Of church, after the songs and talking were over.
Parent:
All right, you are almost done. Last question: Would you go back again?
Camper: Yes.
Parent:
Why?
Camper: Because it was fun! |
