MK Camp 2014

MK Camp 2014 was held at a camp near Pena Blanca, Honduras, on August 4th-9th. There were over 90 MKs (missionary kids), plus 20 adult staff members. Words can not begin to describe how amazing those 5 days of camp were! 

Memorizing scriptures as a team. Go Bright Red Team!

I planned most of it, but I coordinated everything. You should have seen the list of "things to do" that I had going: Fund raising, planning the schedule, communicating with the parents, staff and supporters, picking the verses to memorize and making work booklets, helping plan the menu, crafts and other activities, etc... The list seemed endless.

I spent months planning MK Camp, day after day, week after week, for about 4-5 months altogether. I'm hoping next year will be easier, but even if it isn't I am still going to do it again, because this year's MK Camp was just so amazing! 

The kids laughed, played, made new friends and learned new things about the scriptures. They were challenged in ways that will help their faith grow, and everyone, including us adults, had fun.
