How Do You Feel After Camp?

From one of our Texas Camps.  The Camp Director posted this on his facebook account.  
We created the debriefing cards you see on the table as a quick way to help volunteers debrief their emotions from a week of camp.

With her permission, I'm sharing this post written by one of our counselors at our time of debriefing. This college student beautifully captured how we all feel at the end of the week - and beyond.


"Sad" because I may never get to see my girls again. "Prayerful" because I will always be praying for my girls. "Unprepared" because it's always hard to say goodbye after 5 short days with them. "Humble" because I know that no matter how hard I think my life is, these children have been through so much worse. I am absolutely in love with this camp. I will be doing it every year for the rest of my life. This is my passion, this is my calling. I love all these sweet children with all of my heart and it never gets easier saying goodbye to them. Just 365 days til next camp!" - Emily Fenton
