The Summer Camp Handbook : Everything You Need to Find, Choose and Get Ready for Overnight Camp -- and Skip the Homesickness

"Summer camp is a common destination for children and teenagers during the summer months in some countries. Children and adolescents who attend camp ("campers") participate in a variety of activities, many of which wouldn't be possible or practical during the school year. Although the traditional image of summer camp is of a woodsy place with hiking, canoeing, and campfires, today's summer camps offer a wide variety of specialized activities. For example, there are camps for the performing arts, music, magic (illusion), computers, children with special needs, and weight loss. Religious summer camps, especially those run by Jewish organizations like URJ, Young Israel and also by Evangelical Christian organizations, are also very popular. In most camps, the adult supervisors are called counselors. Counselors are responsible for guiding the campers during

activities and ensuring the safety of the campers. In many camps, counselors are assigned to smaller groups of campers, called "bunks", " huts", or "cabins", who participate in activities as a group. Counselors often share living accommodations with their bunk. Most counselors are in their late teens or early twenties, as it is an ideal job for high school or college students on summer break. Although counselor jobs don't usually pay well (often minimum wage or less), counselors receive free room and board. Many take the job primarily for its enjoyable experience.

Summer camp is also known as "sleepaway camp"(American usage) when campers spend their nights at camp. At some camps, all campers stay overnight, and at some camps ("day camps") the campers go home each night. Some other camps allow both day and overnight campers. Summer camp is often the first time that children spend an extended period of time away from home. Missing home is a frequent problem, but with a caring counselor most campers adjust fairly quickly. Many homesick campers find solace in Care Packages sent from their families to comfort them."

Dear Summer Camps Fans,

I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.

In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
