Well, today was the last full day of camp. It's been a long week, yet strangely short all at the same time. It looks as though the kids have spent a lot of time in the creek in an area they call "the bathtub" staying cool and having fun!
With the week ending the kids will be asked to fill out an evaluation of their week. I don't know what the evaluation looks like exactly, I can only go off of my own experience with these things. Our evaluations were pretty basic. We asked questions about the food, their favorite things, their least favorite things, and suggestions for what they'd like to see next year. We also gave them the opportunity to say anything else they wanted to say. There is a section where the kids can evaluate their counselors as well. It's a fantastic way to give the kids their own voice regarding their camp experience.
I wanted to share with you some of the answers of previous weeks to give you an idea what your camper might be saying. Who knows, it might also give you some things to ask them about if they find themselves at a loss of words on the way home. (Do we REALLY think that will happen???)
What did you learn about God…
That God’s love is forever and he will never give up
I am marked by his love
I can serve him by hospitality speech + my Gifts
I learned that God puts people in your life for a reason. I may not know who but when I look back in the future I can find out.
In the Future:
This week I confirmed that God loves me no mater what
That I will live by love and service
I trusted in him more
To strength my faith + pour myself out
Whenever I come to camp, I feel refreshed with my relationship with God
To become more involved in church
Evals about camp / staff….
It was my favorite year because Lily and Brittany are the best counselors
This has been the best year. We had fun and did lots of activities but still had some down / chill time
(the staff) They were very encourageing, funny & fun. They really did help me grow in my faith. They were good leaders
They were so fun and let us have a say in what we did, also made it not-awkward the 1st day
I love Morgan and Sarah! They were so nice and awesome!
1 (best experience) made new friends and had a blast!
As a parent, you also will have the opportunity to evaluate your experience with Asbury Hills. Please take a moment and fill it out. It's important to give your feed back so that we can continue to grow, and improve. We can't read minds, so please share yours with us!
I hope this blog has been a useful tool for you this week. As I get feedback from the week I will post it as well. If any stories come out about campers I will share them with you. Who knows, you might hear about your camper. Come back and check it out!
