Camp Legacy 2010

Four years ago, my parents started a Christian Summer Camp for just elementary kids at the time. Over the past few years it has blossomed and grown to include first through twelth grades. It had humble beginnings in my parent's back yard in tents...yep tents! Those were the days! This year we have several churches involved...almost 150 kids...not counting all the counselors and staff. We held it at Country Lake in Henryville...a super great facility for a summer camp. It was there last year as well.

There was gobs of time, effort and prayer that went into this huge event...as does every year. And every year it seems more and more lives are touched and literally changed as a result. Both kids and youth alike leave with a fresh understanding of the Lord and a renewed hunger for more of Him. Testimony after testimony has come from this year's endeavor. Here are some pics from this year's Camp Legacy!
These were the wagons that took the kids all over the large grounds for different activities.
They have amazing water activities on the lake...a blob, zip line, paddle boats...and the list goes on!
This was taken during some wonderful relay races set up by my sis, Chelsey and my sis in law, Courtney. They were that Activities Directors this year and did amazing! A very busy job! And...that is shaving cream on his head...everyone was totally gross and disgusting by the end of these...covered with mud, grass, shaving cream, totally soaked...but had tons of fun!
Hangin' Out before dinner
Outfits from the 'Goin Green Groove'...a dance party we had one night. You had to be "green" in color or "green" in environmental terms...or both. So funny!
Small Group Time with their counselor to discuss the message just presented.
Great Praise & Worship and Ministry time.
My Dad & Mama at the Closing Ceremony as people stood to applaud all of their hard work. They work for months to make this possible.
So hard to choose which pictures to share. I took hundreds! This is a small glimpse. A great year...Praise the Lord!

  1. Kristen, this is incredible! Wow! What a ministry your parents have going on with this. I love Country Lake, too. It's such a great camp. Thanks for sharing about this. I'd be interested in helping with this next year.
