First camp…

Well, just got done with the first night at my first camp of the summer!

I’m in San Diego at Point Loma University (unbelievably beautiful campus!!!!) for a Hume Lake camp they do here. It’s pretty cool, I must say. If you know anything about Hume you know they do camp “right.” They do everything top notch and with a great heart. Their camps are filled up at Hume (packing in almost 2,000 students a week), so a few years ago they started to doing camps in San Diego in addition to the camps at Hume. They now have four full weeks of camp here and each having about 6-700 kids.  Amazing.  

The theme is great: Rise of the Kinematics.  Kinematics is a scientific term describing the study of motion without cause.  It’s a robotic theme that talks about how our faith is not one to be lived out without cause.  I love it.  They always have great themes, but this one is perfect.  Recognizing that a large percentage of young Christians can only describe their faith in terms of Christian experience, action, or service it’s great to ground those actions with theological truth.  So, the idea is rather than being like a robot, we need to understand the reasons we live the way we do - the foundation on which we stand.  Nice.

Here are a couple pics from tonight’s meeting.  I took a couple more from stage, but the lights were too bright so they didn’t come out.  Tomorrow I’m off for wake boarding and wind-surfing…should be fun!  Off to bed now, I’m tired.
