London’s Father & Son Camp Report
Phil Miller brings us this report on last weekend’sfather and son camp …
The Fathers and Sons had an amazing time in Gilwell Park. Few of us expected the weather to be so cold in late March but the snow did not stop us all getting fired up. With a camp fire devotional where we learned whose voice we really should be listening out for, to end-to-end running in the snow capturing each other’s flags and hiding out with each other in the mud as we played laser mayhem, we slept well by the end of Saturday night.
Some of our younger players are proving to be very shrewd indeed. I was caught out more often than I care to remember by someone shooting me from afar as I thought I had the best hiding place huddled in the snow and mud.
Sunday morning proved to be a memorable service as the kids, with some help from the dads, put on some really funny and uplifting skits. If you are stuck with what to do for a family devotional just get the Mr. T costume from Chris I’m sure that will help!
Life is so busy these days, but this is one event you don’t want to miss. To bond with our sons and see our children build lasting friendships with each other was unmissable.
Great fellowship, great fun and great food (thanks sisters, and Andy, for serving us). What more could a Dad and his son ask for except for the next one to come again soon next year.
Kevin, thanks for organising a memorable and inspirational event
