So, how lucky are we to be having such a great time here at Saranac! This camp is exquisitely beautiful and the program team is creating days full of fun activities and opportunities for us all to learn more about Jesus and how much He cares for us.
It's Thursday here ... and, we wish you all were here with us. It truly is the best week of our lives.

All, y'all! We're here at Saranac Lake in upstate New York! Look at all the crazy fun we're having here ... yes, it is unbelieveable here. We've had two days of wild activities which included a volleyball tournament, Canadiator games (picture crazy competitive games on the field near the lake), and a stealth obstacle course which included a 50 foot slide in to the freezing lake!!! These kids are having the time of their lives!!! We've got a terrific camp speaker, Mike Kramer, from Virginia. He's sharing amazing talks with us.

Stay tuned.

More pictures coming soon.

Are you ready for the BEST week of your life? More crazy fun than you've ever had before ... at Sharp Top Cove next week!

The Blob at Sharptop Cove -- 5 more days until Urban goes to Jasper, Georgia!

I had to put this up again; it's so good!

Are you ready?

Saranac in 6 days!

JAX Young Life will be taking about 90 kids to camp in upstate New York this Saturday. We needs lots of prayers for:
  • a safe journey for all
  • that more people in our area will find a way to continue contributing to the campership fund (many of the kids are not able to cover the cost in full this year)
  • that each of these high schoolers will find spiritual nourishment on this trip

Janell Marino, Elizabeth Brooke, Helen and Dave Balz and I (Edith Katz) will be going up for the week to support and care for the leaders that are guiding these kids.

How fortunate are we to have this opportunity to see God's work in action.
