Summer camp!

WHEW! It is the end of June already and summer feels like it has just begun! Warm days and cool nights here in Michigan! Golf, running, grilling and nights by the chiminea fire are what it is all about here in the Laffoon house.

Torrey is spending his summer at Spring Hill working as a counselor for middle school boys. He is loving it and really growing in his abilities to lead.

Grace just returned from a week of camp with Youth for Christ here in Central Michigan. She is exhausted but loved every minute of camp!

Summer Camp - a place where kids can refocus, learn and grow. Summer camp has always been great for Torrey and Grace because they see themselves in new ways. They realize that they have gifts and abilities that maybe they had never seen before. New friends are made and it broadens our kids horizons in the social area of their life.

I think adults need summer camp! We become to bogged down in the routines of our lives that we need time to refocus ourselves. We need to search and discover gifts and abilities that maybe we have never seen before. We need to spend time with friends.

We only have so many precious moments in this life, lets not waste them! Take some time and "go to summer camp"!
