Camp Info!

Ok, so praise God, I just got a handbook for summer staff from the people who run the camp. It gives me a WAY better idea of what my summer is going to look like and what I'm going to be doing. Makes me way less worried and nervous about what I have gotten myself into. I don't feel like I'm blindly going into the summer, which is a relief since I catch the bus to Malaga in 4 days! So, I will share a little bit of the information I have received with all of you :)

First, my address.

Glenn Ashcraft

Kimberly Zander

Finca Los Chorrillos

29312 Vva. del Rosario

(Malaga) SPAIN

I'm not really sure yet, but I think you have to put Glenn's name on it for purposes of the post office being able to find me. He's the guy who runs the camp, so no worries. I'm sure he's really nice. You can send packages or letters at any time because I will arrive there in four days and it will take around two weeks for anything you send to arrive at the camp.

Second, it looks like we will be doing a little bit of sightseeing while we are there, which I'm excited about. I haven't been to southern Spain yet, because I was hoping to get a chance to go a few places while in Malaga. Good news, I will! I'm sure it will include places like Granada, Cordoba, and Sevilla. And it will be great.

It also looks like there will be a bit of discipling going on during the summer. YES. I was sooo hoping for that. I want to be able to make connections with these people, grow so much deeper in my relationship with God, and be challenged in areas of service and humility. I guess you could say those are my goals for the summer then, huh? Feel free to ask me about them and hold me accountable on them throughout the summer!

The handbook also has an example of a typical schedule, waking up at 8am to get to work around 9:30am and ending with supper at 9pm (normal dinner time in Spain). After that we have free time, which I will most likely use for sleep :) I am hoping to maybe be able to jump in on some worship nights with the camps if there are any and it looks like I might have a bit of opportunity for that.

Lastly, what you all REALLY want to know... I booked my flight home today. Let me just say that this is subject to change and I haven't exactly talked with the camp about it yet, but they are pretty flexible. Right now it's looking like I will arrive in Chicago the night of Thursday, August 18th. A little earlier than I was thinking, but no big. The next available flight was August 25th, which is way too late for me. I want to be able to go to Battle Ready (the planning retreat for Navigators) which starts on August 24th. More than that, I want to have a bit of time at home to visit with all my dear friends before heading off to school!

Ok, ok. I'll stop talking now. Let me know if you have any questions!
