Scattered among the many adventures, such as high-ropes, rappelling, obstacle course running, team building, Leap of Faith-taking (jumping off a 30-foot tree stump), hiking, canoeing, and Amazing Racing, are many opportunities for the boys to grow their faith and get in tune with the Spirit of God, from devotionals to testimony meetings to solo experiences out in nature. It's really an amazing time--an opportunity for these boys to get to know one another as brothers in Christ, get in touch with their spiritual selves, often for the first time, and spend some quality time invested in becoming more like their Savior. This year's theme was "Called to Serve" and centered around service throughout their lives and missionary work. We are so glad Zac had this unique and wonderful opportunity. This camp is held every-other year and we've heard about how incomparable it is over the years. At last one of our boys has had the chance to experience it and it lived up to the hype! One of the best experiences of Zac's life so far, for sure.
After arriving home and telling us 100 stories about all that he did, Zac summed it up like this: "It was faith-promoting, exciting, thrilling, a little tear-jerking, and really fun. I enjoyed it a lot! I wish it was longer and can't wait for the next one!"
