Kadesh 2012
I went to ACU Leadership Camps every summer for 12 years in a row. TWELVE YEARS. The last two, I was on staff. Camps was a huge part of my life, and it was where I did a lot of spiritual growing up. I can genuinely say that camps changed my life.
The only thing I never got to do for camps was be a group leader. My sister was on staff this year, and my dad planned to go lead a group so he could be there and spend some time with her. It worked out perfectly for me to fly down (with them, since it was the week after they were here) and lead a group with him!
It's hard to describe what Kadesh (the high school camp) really is. It's not exactly a fun camp. You are in a small group with 8-10 other kids and 2 adult group leaders. And you study the Bible. In the afternoon, you do service projects. And you worship worship worship as a camp. It's amazing.
Kadesh is set up in a way that you get to know people really fast and really REAL. It's incredible to see the way God works in the lives of kids in just one week. It's really incredible how it is so not about you. God shows up and takes over, you just have to let him.
I feel privileged that I could take a week off to go lead a group at Kadesh. I feel even more blessed that I got to lead a group with my dad! And my sister was there too! It's definitely one of the most exhausting things you can do with a week in your summer... but I would do it again.
