This weekend is the avance. It's not a retreat, it's an advance. We want to the kids who come to take steps forward in their relationship with God. Really that's our goal every time we have campers here at campa, but this weekend is a little different. This weekend is specifically for the kids in who we see the potential to be counselors for this summer. We invite them here, and we dig into the Word of God together. We also give them the opportunity to interact with a bunch of kids.
This year they planned together an entire afternoon including games, Bible lesson, songs, skits and free time. As a matter of fact at this very minute there is an intense game of medic going on! We invite kids from the barrio next to camp. Yesterday Jim, my dad (John Cox) and i drove around the barrio handing out permission slips and flyers. This morning at around 7:30, my parents (who live in the barrio) had to send kids home and tell them to come back at 11:00. We had 37 kids show up. 37 kids + 21 potential counselors + wind and sun and hotdogs = hot, sweaty, loud fun!
