This is a christian-based camp for kids located in Adair, Oklahoma - almost 3 hours from our front door. Tim and I call it Six Flags Camp because it is so posh with air-conditioned cabins, water slides, go-karts, train rides, etc. The only thing missing is the ferris wheel! (Seriously, I've never seen a summer camp like this place!!!) But they also ride horses, swim in the lake, build campfires and attend chapel everyday.
What I love about this camp is the CHAPEL experience for the kids. Everyday, the Dry Gulch Staff make going to chapel like you are attending the Superbowl. They have a jumbotron screen and they put on amazing shows. They make learning about Jesus like watching a laser light show. The boys always come home so filled with love for Christ and excited to tell us all the Bible stories they learned.
This year they came home talking about the promises God made to different people in the Bible. They also talked about "temptations." I asked Sam if he knew what a "temptation" was. He said, "Yeah. It's like when you want to do something, but you shouldn't do it, but you really want to do it, but you shouldn't do it.... but you really want to do it." I think he's got it.
