Camp Firwood in the Snow

01.19.12 | 1 Comment »

This time of year is always interesting, with the crazy weather and unexpected snow events. With schools being closed and the kids at home, what better time to start thinking about summer and camp?! Check out this article called, “Preparing Your Child for Camp,” by Cheri Evans of the Christian Camp and Conference Association. The article contains tips on how to save for camp, setting up expectations for your camper, as well as what to pray for in anticipation of your child’s experience.

Evans says that, “As a parent, you may consider yourself ‘set apart’ from your child’s camp adventure because you aren’t in attendance. The success of the child’s experience, however, may very well depend upon your participation.” Make sure that you are part of your camper’s time at camp.

Also, Check out these photos of Camp Firwood in the snow! Post a comment of what you would like to do in the snow at camp.
