And Then There Was One

For the last 4 months, there was a line of RVs parked but now there is only one. Last week all of the other MAPers went North.  We will all meet back here is January to continue to work here at Camp Wilderness. For the next two weeks we are here or until the end of April.  Then it is home for a couple of weeks, then On The Road Again.

All By Ourselves

Week Three - This is what it's all about

This is week three (officially as MAPS Volunteers) at Camp Wilderness.  The camp was a buzz with all the Royal Ranger boys at PowWow.  At the same time Florida has their Kids Field Day and Family Camp.  This is why we are here --- to create a wonderful place for these folks.  I would say it was a successful weekend.

Here are a few pics.  Everyone had fun as well as making decisions for their life and walk with God.

The expression on this boy says it all.

The boys could earn trade beads by saying a memory verse, then
could trade their beads for other items.

Camp Wilderness - official week two

Today marks our second week here at Camp Wilderness as official MAPS RV volunteers. Glenn has been busy working on the obstacle course. More to be built next year. He has been painting and doing a number of other task. The guys are trying to get the camp ready for this weekends Royal Ranger PowWow. Many are coming in to set up their camp for the weekend. They expect over two thousand boys.

The food for the camp has been delivered and the golf carts unloaded. Many activities and deliveries today.

One of the ranger leaders ask if I could do a couple of shirts with the emblem. I said sure. Well....he brought a number of shirts, two jackets and a duffel bag. I don't mind really. I just thought it funny that a couple turned into many.

Today was our last official morning meeting. It was Linda's birthday. And as usual, Joyce decorated to celebrate. I had monogrammed all the ladies a bag with their name on it and since this will be our last meeting, I took them to the meeting to hand out. We had a great time. I will miss these wonderful new friends.
