| Campfirmation: by Whitney Olson 9th Grade, Smith Junior High School |

This
year was my last time being a camper at Love of Christ's summer
confirmation camp. It was a blast! Our theme was "Lost and
Found". All of our discussions and devotions were based on that
theme. Amidst all of our discussions, worship services and devotion
times, we also had tons of fun. The ropes course, zip line and free time
all added up to make a great time at Higher Ground. The last
night of camp is always very meaningful. This year we relived the
story of the of the prodigal son. Nathan took us out to a dump near the
camp and we had worship there. We sat on pieces of cardboard during
the service. At the end of the service, we took our cardboard,
which represented our sins, and threw it away. We did this one by
one. After we threw it away we walked back to our meeting room. The
walk back was so cool because you were alone with God. After you got
back to the room there was a huge Welcome Home Party
waiting there for you just like the prodigal son. That night
was very moving. Camp was full of fun. All of the JC's (Junior
Counselors), adults, and other kids were great. We all had
an awesome time. I look forward to going again as
a JC.
