Bible Memory Camp

This year, our whole family (minus Brynna) was able to go to Bible Memory elementary camp.  Alex was the Bible teacher, Braylee was a counselor, Brielle & Beilyn were campers (Beilyn's 1st year!), I was the nurse, and the little girls were just along for the fun! We had an amazing week!

Their weekly, "Take our picture!" after church.

Camp moved to this new location last summer.  We weren't able to help due to Covid so this was our first time there. We really loved it!  That tree is amazing. 😍

Checking out the new cabins Sunday evening.

Monday morning. Campers arrived and this girl was ready!

Brielle's cabin mates and counselors.

Beilyn was thrilled to find out her counselors were Braylee and Beth! We had not requested this but I had prayed a lot about who her counselors would be...for her sake and theirs. It was such a blessing to have her big sister sleeping right next to her! (Braylee told me it was quite a challenge getting her out of bed each morning! 😄)

BellaMei on Braylee's bed (and wishing she could be a camper too!).

Beilyn's cabin mates and counselors.

Watching with anticipation as the water slide is set up.

Divided into teams & working on team names.

She found a baby toad.

My favorite! Sword Drill (seeing who can find the verse the quickest) and Trivia. Beilyn was so nervous and didn't really want to participate. Then she stood to answer the first trivia question! The staff didn't understand her and my heart sank. She paused, then walked slowly up to their table, and hesitantly said it again.  It made me tear up.  I'm so proud of how brave she was! And the cheers and high fives from her team when she went back to her group made my heart so happy! Such a sweet moment!

By the last day, Bria had basically integrated herself as a camper. 😊

Brielle's only friend who is the same size as her. 😁 They are never ready to say goodbye & we had to promise a sleepover soon.  Until next summer...
