Aldo and Katie: Ready or not... Summer is here!

Summer has officially made it to the Dominican! School is out and we are in the process of gearing up for our summer outreach camps.

Last Wednesday we sat on the balcony at camp and overlooked a beautiful, peaceful place as we prayed for and talked details about this upcoming summer. This summer we will have three one-week camps where kids are already signing up, looking forward to the following:

cooler weather up in the mountains
a quieter place where car alarms, motorcycles, and other loud noises don't pollute the air
pool, climbing wall, challenge course, basketball and volleyball courts, whiffle ball field, plus more
running, hot water
3 full excellent hot meals a day
"club" every night, with crazy games, skits, songs, and most importantly a talk that ends with a challenge to turn their eyes and hearts to God.

What they are not aware of is how this could be the best week of their life, as they will be challenged to give their lives to Jesus. Many teens will walk away from their week at camp a new creation; they will leave camp with their hearts filled of the love of Jesus and will have a fervor to follow Him!

Camp begins July 14, will run three weeks straight, and we hope to see as many as 300 youth this summer, as our newly constructed cabins have allowed for an increase in numbers. Please join us in prayer for these camps: for hearts to be moldable, for safety, and for energy and patience for the leaders. We are very excited for this upcoming summer!

And here are a few pictures looking back at this last month...
