Yeah Guys!!!!!
   I just want to tell you it was the best time ever having you in my cabin! You were honestly a blessing to me. Especially being my first "official" cabin.

   I had such great times during challenge camp - all thanks to you. I loved how you always were already in bed when I came into the room. It was hilarious!

   Always remember the important teaching we learned from 2 Kings 2:23 hahahahaha. SUCH GOOD TIMES! Peace!

Much love!
Dillon

   What's happening guys? I hope you all are doing well and that you are still riding the wave of awesome excitement from all the sweetness of camp last week. We literally had some cool experiences that I'm sure you all will remember for years to come. I enjoyed hanging with all of you and getting the chance to know each of you a little on the personal level. All the activities, waterpark, climbing, and rappelling were a part of helping us each challenge ourselves and stretch and grow. Don't just be satisfied with that stuff though, because I know some spiritual growth was taking place as well. Flex those faith muscles. I love you guys.

Rock on for Jesus! RUOK!

Hi girls!!
   I hope you all had a great time here at Camp Gideon! I know I had a blast getting to know each of you! I'll never forget the awesome times we had rock climbing and going to Dover Lake Waterpark!! Even though it rained some it was funny watching everyone get all muddy in the huge puddles. I hope you all grew closer to Christ this week. Remember to keep pressing on in your faith. Pray and read your bibles daily. God loves it when we spend time with Him. And also remember the verse we went over in devotions. 1 Timothy 4:12-Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. You can be an example to anyone, old or young, by living your Christian life. I hope to see you all next summer! Remember, God loves you and so do I!!

Love,
Trisha Joy

Cabin 7 - Amy
Hello, Darlings!
   I want to thank you all for an incredible week. God used you to speak to me and make my last week of summer camp special. I loved watching each of you grow and hearing you worship God not only with song during chapel time, but in your interaction with other campers and conversations with me. You have been blessed to be so close to God at such an early age; remember the passage in Timothy that Marty quoted ("Don't let anyone look down upon you because of your youth") because God uses the energy of teens to accomplish feats incomprehensible to those who have forgotten the passion of their youth.

   One of the lessons I hope you take home from this week is that you are each gifted in unique ways with which you can serve God and others; I hope the personality test we took during cabin bonding can give you some idea of where God has naturally placed your strengths and weaknesses. Whatever abilities He's given you, remember also that every man and woman of God can produce the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:20) we looked at during devotions one morning.

   Finally, I want to let all of you know that I am still here for you even though we've left the camp's grounds. If you are at Malone, look me up and we'll hang out. If you're farther away, email me and I'll reply asap. I hope you girls stay in touch with me and each other; until we meet again, I bid you all a fond farewell and sunny summer!

Love,
Amy

Hey there Girls!
   Thank you so much for quite possibly the most memorable week ever at camp. All TWELVE of you were absolutely amazing and a blessing to be around. I had a ton of fun with you all throughout the week...during the events and especially during the worship. You girls are amazing and I really want to encourage you all to keep the passion I saw at camp this week. With hearts that are desperate for God, you will go amazing places and see incredible things happen! I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the summer and would really love to hear from you.

In Christ's Love,
Kiersten

Hey girls!
   This was an AWESOME week! I really enjoyed getting to know each of you. We had some good times. Each of you were so different and amazing in your own ways. God is going to use you all in awesome ways, if you'll open your hearts to His will for your life. You guys were really challenged a lot and I hope that you take the lessons you learned here and really apply them to your life. I love you girls so much and I miss you already! I hope to hear from all of you. Keep the faith!

Love ya!
