Just yesterday, I got back from another fun week volunteering at Camp Living Water. This week was a day camp from kids aged about 5-9, but we took in a few older kids. Doing a day camp was fun and a lot more relaxing because the kids went home, whereas at other camps kids needed to be cared for all day long. After they left (at around four) the staff got to rest, eat good American food, and watch movies. We had a lot of fun hanging out and playing games.
Every day at about 10:00 the kids would arrive in really crowded cars. Sometimes there were about twenty kids in one back seat. After that we would allow them some free time before we herded them inside for some singing and a message. Because they were young, we did about two crafts a day and did a lot of games. My favorite activities were probably the slip and slide and the water games. I didn't actually play the water games with the kids, but after we were done I got at least twenty buckets of water dumped on me. Yeah, I was completely soaked, but it was fun.
Even though camp can be very tiring, I was sad to leave. I know I'm going to really miss the kids, staff, and camp itself. I can't wait to go back, whenever that might be!!!!
Side note: Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures from this week, as I was changing into dry clothes when they took the group pictures before the kids left.
