I'm going to Jesus camp!
I'm leaving again for camp tomorrow. This is my address:
Casey Mullaney
Fowler Camp and Retreat Center
PO Box 131
Speculator, Ny 12164
I'm excited. Being there is indescribably good. My first week was incredible. I had great campers, got to hang out with my awesome SWiMs, and ride in the Gator without getting in trouble. I also got to see my grown-up friends, Mike and Miguel again. Sometimes I try and remember what I noticed first about camp and what I like the best. It's a long list, but one thing that really stands out is the way people are just people. People don't try to put you into a box or catagory there. Age stops mattering so much when you recognize that everyone has something to contribute to a community. Back in the real world, we have a place for kids, a place for teenagers, a place for adults, and a place for old people, and the groups never really mix. That's a shame, because everyone has something they could share with everyone else. I have friends now that live across the country and range in age from thirteen to forty. I like that.
So I will miss everyone and everything here, but I'm looking forward to two more good weeks. I'll let you know how it goes.
