Sleeping bags, duffel bags, water coolers, boots, coats, and young men clutter the driveway. Chatter about who is going with whom. Who is driving? Boys playing tag in the front yard. Discussions about the weather. And the usual chaos that goes with leaders and boys leaving for a weekend camping experience. It's a fun site, the energy, excitement and joy that boys feel as they take off away from home for the night!
As they return it's the feeling of tiredness, the lack of energy, the campfire smell that penetrates their clothes and their stories of the adventure that lets you know that they had a great time. To the leaders that teach and give them opportunities to lead, thanks.
Austin and Willy could not stop talking about it, especially the fire building competition.Willy gave an excellent analogy about building fires and building a testimony in priesthood meeting. Camping is for growing in more than one way!
