Wow! There are no words to describe what I experienced last week at The Mountain High Camp in Red River, NM. I went to help with the “campers”, adults who have experienced traumatic brain injuries, and I’m the one who was blessed. I know now why they refer to this camp as “God’s Camp”. God’s presence was there always no matter what we were doing or where we were at. We started off the camp with a Hoe Down hosted by the members of the Faith Mountain Fellowship Church in Red River. On Monday we went out to Bobcat Pass just outside of Red River and played games. On Tuesday night we had a “Barn Dance” at the Red River Convention Center. Everyone had great time. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons we went fishing or shopping or both. It was more than I could ever have imagined.
My campers – Randy, Robert and Kelvin
I made so many friends, including campers, counselors, volunteers and families. I’m looking forward to going back next year. I’m so grateful that God led me to this camp.
Two of my new friends and co-counselors- Melissa Hartley and Carol Pritchard
This week I’m going to concentrate on resting and reflection and I’ll be spending more time with my grandbaby.
Until next time…
