T Bar M observations

I just wanted to briefly share some things we have seen today at camp.

Erin and I thank God we have the chance to be here this week.

1.  Relationships-Today was our first full day at the camp, and already we can see the importance T Bar M places on relationships. It's pervasive-from who they hire to how the staff interact with the campers. Drew always told me this is what distinguishes them from other camps, and it is true!

2.  The Gospel- for camp, Wednesday is the day that the Gospel is presented. It was truly amazing to see how the staff presented the Gospel to the campers.  Today the Gospel was the official emphasis, but from our observations yesterday, we could tell the whole program is geared towards the Gospel and the Word.

3.  Fun!  This camp is a blast!  It is apparent that fun is a focus. But what is cool is that even the fun moments are used to bring in teachings from God's word. It is clear that the fun is with a purpose, and that purpose is to create teachable moments with the campers.

Pray for Erin and I as we go through the rest of the week.  We need God's guidance as we try to figure out how He wants us to incorporate what T Bar M does into the camp at Thoreau. I will post more as our minds are able to process more of what we have seen and discussed here at camp. (we haven't even seen the Lake Travis Camp... That trip is tomorrow)
