My oldest returned from R Camp this week… and great things must have transpired there. The boy who returned is a little closer to the pre-teen we are trying to raise.
I’m not saying a miracle happened or anything, but something similar. You see, my sons… just like their father… can be very selfish at times. And my oldest usually leads the pack in this sin. But when he returned from camp, two amazing things happened; 1. He was EXCITED about something other than video games and 2. He was much more respectful to his parents and brothers.
At R-Camp, the kids are taught spiritual lessons, surrounded by days of fun, games, and friends. The relationships that the kids create at R-Camp are some of the most powerful and lasting relationships than they will ever forge in a single week. These relationships, in addition to the great Biblical teachings, help them to build confidence, respect, and a strong sense of right and wrong.
We are amazed at the maturity that he has displayed in the few days he has been home and we plan to make full use of this foundation and build upon what has already begun to take hold.
