Overnight Camp is a really fun time where we put on a "camp" for them from Friday after school until Saturday afternoon. It takes a lot of planning, means Friday is a CRAZY day in the classroom, and there is not a lot of time to prepare for the next week, but it is so FUN! Our theme this year was the beach and we taught the students about humility. On Friday night they rotate with their teams, so I rotated with the orange team and had students from every grade. At the end of the night we have a campfire complete with hot dogs, s'mores, and very sweaty students! :) We put them to bed and wake up early the next morning for class activities. It is a highlight for the students every year and it is really fun to be able to spend time with them outside of the classroom! I love my kids and it was a very fun (but EXHAUSTING!) weekend!
I am also starting to help out with the youth at church. Today was the first day that I got to meet them and spend time with them. My housemate and I both decided to help out with the youth this year and it is really neat because we are the only female leaders. I think the girls (especially in middle school) need someone who is a girl to talk to. They are all really sweet and 3 of them just moved to Thailand this past week! Hopefully we can really pour into their lives and help them feel comfortable in Thailand and especially at the church!
I'll post some pictures from the campfire below...
