Special Midsouth Camp Report:
KA-BOOM! Almost 160 campers—the second highest number in Midsouth Camp history—descended upon Frontier Camp from July 31-Aug 6, 2022 for a week of outdoor adventure, friendship bonding, and spiritual growth. This year’s theme was “Texas Toast and the Temple of Ka-Boom” (boom, boom, boom). We talked about the false idols we build in our lives, and how to see the image of God in others and ourselves instead. As children and adults made in God’s image, we are living, breathing, walking temples of God. We honor God by filling our “temples” with good, not garbage. As image-bearers, we are not our own; we belong to a body of Christ. This is the good news we meditated on.
As a division leader, I got to float around and see the campers and counselors in action. I saw intergenerational interaction; I heard voices speaking multiple languages; I danced and pelted water balloons; I sang praise songs to God. It’s hard to imagine the range of activities we squeezed into one week! Every time I serve at camp, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the uniqueness and diversity of Midsouth Camp. It truly is a taste of heaven on earth.
If you’ve never volunteered as a counselor or if you’ve never sent your kids to camp, I invite you to do so next summer. Besides having a blast with your Midsouth family, camp is a powerful time of growing deeper with God. Just ask Sourdough and José Digma. (You’ll have to go to camp to meet them!)
