Family Camp

We got home late Sunday night from an amazing week at Family Camp in Branson, Missouri. I absolutely cannot say enough good about this place. They ministered to us from the minute that we walked on campus until the minute that we drove away. The counselors poured their hearts into my kids and our family and were such a blessing. The accomodations and food were wonderful, and we enjoyed every minute of our time there. If you have elementary age kids or younger, I highly recommend this as a family vacation. Check out this website or feel free to talk to me if you are interested or want to see more of the hundreds of pictures we took!




There is so much to do that it is hard to know where to start- putt putt, swimming pool, water park with slides and lazy river, playground, jumping pillow, crafts, archery, bb guns, canoes, pontoons, bluff jumping, water skiing, etc. Every morning we left the kids in their class and got to go to a seminar with Greg Smalley that was fabulous. Then the afternoons were ours to do with as we pleased. The evenings all had activites to participate in too- luau, parties, pirate night, date night for parents, gospel walk, and island olympics! We were completely exhausted every night by the time that we fell into bed. We loved the time with friends and the time with our family. I could go on and on.


Here are a few of the highlights from our week!

Shooting BB guns. I actually was a pretty good shot.

Carter doing a little archery. He actually hit the target all by himself.

Date night! The kids had activities while we had a candlelight dinner and rode a boat to the Branson landing where we watched a water show and shopped. Super fun.

Having fun with the family.

Carter in the "muscle beach" competition at the Island Olympics.

Our family in our Tech stuff for "be true to your school" night.

Some of the countless counselors that invested in my kids this week (David and Callie). I cannot thank them enough for the way that they blessed my heart by genuinely loving my babies.

I seriously have countless stories and several more pictures. We had such an amazing week. I feel completely refreshed physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We are already planning the trip for next year! Anyone else interested?
