 Going to teen camp this summer was exciting! I was able spend a whole week with teens that have made the decision to follow God as well as others who are beginning to get to know Him.
This is the second year that I have been able to attend the Florida Teen Camp and I felt that this year was different from the last. Closer friendships were formed while sharing our struggles and offering one another advice. It was completely different sharing with other teens that are following God. While most teens at school care only about sex and girls, teen camp offered an environment where we could get away and just have fun and spiritual conversations. The staff was incredible and provided many different activities and challenges. Bible classes were taught by amazing men of God such as Rich Bartoli, Jeff Chacon, and John Bringardner. With these and other great speakers I felt truly cared for as they shared the message of Jesus. Because of the generosity of the Tampa Bay Church both my brother and I were able to go to teen camp this year. I want to thank the church for facilitating this opportunity to go and for all the individuals that made donations. Because of your sacrifice I was able to have an amazing time that will not be forgotten. |
