Soccer Camp Serving

Soccer Camp has always been a summer highlight for our family. For a number of years all 4 kids were High Power Soccer Campers each summer. Now that Christine and Joshua are too old to be campers, they have stepped into a helping role.
The last two years Christine helped with the Junior Campers (3 and 4 year olds) and this year she worked in the nursery so that the parents of babies could coach and help in other ways. Since Christine loves little ones, this was a perfect fit! She also got some valuable experience working with a little boy with special needs, which she just loved! I am really proud of her joyful willingness to spend a week of her time (4 hours each day) serving others.
This year was Joshua's first year to be a helper. He jumped right in with the Field Set-up Team and learned a lot about taking instructions and following through with a job. While camp was going on, Joshua stepped right up and helped to snag stray balls on the field. I am so proud of the great job he did!
Rebecca and Caleb enjoyed being Soccer Campers once again. This was Rebecca's last year as a camper, so we'll have to see which area of service will be a fit for her next year. Both Caleb and Rebecca had a great time running around on the field with both old and new friends. They also enjoyed 'The Zone' and all the little reminders about God's plan of Salvation.
Since I was coaching, I couldn't take pictures, so I was glad when Tim was able to stop by one day and take some pictures. Here's a few:
