Our family just got back from a homeschool family camp held at Jenness Park. Even though it was a spring camp, you wouldn’t have known it from the weather.  Beginning the first full day of the camp, it snowed over a foot and a half while we were there.  Despite the cold snow (which we didn’t adequately prepare for, clothing-wise), we had a great time at the camp.  It was such a blessing to be among fellow homeschoolers.  I love the fact that everyone, from infants to toddlers to teenagers and to adults, sat together to learn and have fun together.  This was truly a FAMILY camp.

Dr. Tommy Mitchell from Answers in Genesis came and spoke to us about creation, particularly with an emphasis on Noah and the Great Flood.  His talks held everyone, young and old, captive and engaged.  We came away much informed about the world God created.

The Wintons, a father and two sons bluegrass team, led the worship time.  I admit, I’m not a bluegrass person, but after listening to their music, I’ve been converted.  I suppose it helped that we had their CD playing continuously for three hours on the way home.  Even the kids are into the music and have been humming and singing the songs.

Among many other activities, the kids went to the great outdoors and rode on a zip line and a giant swing in the snow.

Our favorite activity was country line dancing.  What fun it is to be able to dance as a big group.

We’re all sad that the camp is over and we look forward to next year’s camp. Hopefully there won’t be snow but just sunshine.
