Youth Camp

Our group from Grand Cayman flew into Detroit on Sunday and then brought a coach bus down to Celina, Ohio for Youth Camp.  There were twenty~one that came.  Here are my good friends, Debbie (left) and Karen (right).  We've known them for close to 20 years from another Youth Camp we all attended together!

Just coming back from Walmart :o)  They don't get to go there only but once or twice a year, so they stock up!

Leon, Stephen, DeAnn, Dawn and Enola just back from shopping

This is the Camp Ground where the Youth Camp is held

There's Lorna playing her tambourine in the service

Dennis with our good friend Jack who lives here in Ohio

A view across the Camp Ground looking toward a corn field

Here are some fun pictures

Jack has been to our Church several times, so he knows our friends very well

And there's our buddy, Amit!!

These friends are brother and sisters (except Ben in the red stripped shirt) who were very young kids when we Pastored in Syracuse, New York.  Heather on the right is now a lawyer!!  They have another sister, Brenda, who unfortuately wasn't here when I took the picture.  What a great family they are!!!

I took this picture through the open window as I was outside of the Tabernacle of Dawn and some others in our group.

Enola

Cheese :o)

Today is the last day of Camp!  Our group will stay here in Celina tonight yet and tomorrow the Coach Bus comes back to get them.  They will go to Cedar Point Amusement Park on Saturday and on to a hotel in Detroit tomorrow night.  They will stay there until they go back to Grand Cayman either Tuesday or Wednesday!  It has been a very relaxing week for me as I don't work in this Youth Camp!

Youth Camp

We left Dennis' home in West Virginia and had to drive to the Cincinnati/Kentucky Airport to meet our group that was coming to Youth Camp from the Cayman Islands.  We crossed the Ohio River a couple times.

Going into Ohio 

We saw signs for Bob Evans Farm & decided to drive out to see it.  There was a lot of construction going on, so I thought no need to take any pictures of that. 

What I think looks like a Texas Longhorn down on the farm 

Crossing into Kentucky ~ almost to the airport 

Here comes some of our group from Cayman.  Glad to be there after a long day in airports and on planes :o) 

Dawn and Deann 

Deann with her cousin Chavaughn.  He comes to Cayman every summer from Jamaica to spend time with his Aunt, Uncle and Cousin and always goes to Youth Camp.  He's a great kiddo!!

And this is the only picture I got at Camp this year.  Our ladies worked in the dining hall every day and here they were cutting up watermelon. 

Youth Camp for me this year was really, really awesome!  We changed camps and no longer go to the one in PA and so I didn't want to work at this one.  I've spent many long hours working on lodging for the other one and sort of got burnt out.  So, majority of the week I just lounged around at our hotel, walked to the Goodwill store or to Walmart to print off pictures since Dennis had our vehicle and was at the Camp.  It was a very relaxing and enjoyable week for me!!  The adults of our group have talked about starting our own Youth Camp in Cayman for the past year, but since we came to the new one I think they may want to come back as they really, really liked it!!
