Wet Camp

One of the good things this summer is you wont need your sunblock when going outside, instead you need your umbrella. Right. It’s raining this summer. Almost everyday -  morning til noon til afternoon, the rain never stops. And guess what, low pressure areas keep on forming which means we’ll have a very wet, or I might say flooded summer.

But even so, summer still means camping time. Yes, we didnt move the camp.The Southern Tagalog Baptist Churches Association (SOTABCA) Youth Camp  was scheduled April 28-May 2,2009. It was a risk but we know our Father in heaven is faithful and can make the rain cooperate with us.  We did lots of prayers, specially the week before the camp when the non stop raining begun.

The first day came and no rain showed up, praise God! It was really an answered prayer. All the campers settled well and the first night was good. Second day was a little bit alarming, but still good. Little rain showers came in the afternoon which gave additional spice to our game activities. When the evening came, rain wasnt being friendly to us. It poured down continously until the next morning. As expected, most of the campers’ tents were flooded as well as their clothes so the camp management decided to cut the camp until lunch. We still did one workshop that morning and I was blessed to see the campers asking for more, but unfortunately we cant continue anymore.

Anyway, the camp in general was a success. The rain is still a blessing and it didnt hinder us to enjoy the fellowship of each other, make new friends and glorify God in our camp. Having a wet camp didnt seem so bad at all, except for the mud:D.
