Shorter commute home tonight! It’s a full send 4th day of camp - Wild Rivers (a local waterpark) day was epic - just a day of relational youth ministry, where leaders build a bridge to their students and just have fun. No major content pieces at camp, just good times hoping to further relationships and build toward Life Groups during the school year.
