Tyler had a wonderful time at camp this year. I am very proud of him. He goes to a Christian camp here in Michigan where the kids have a lot of fun swimming, tubing, doing archery, crafts..the usual fun camp things. But there is also a large emphasis on learning more about Christ and the Bible. There are two major awards given to campers who go beyond the daily requirements of memorizing their Bible verses and showing a great spirit and sense of sportmanship. Tyler won both awards this year. Above is Tyler receiving the All Around Bible Award for his Bible verse memorization.
This is Tyler (on the right) receiving the 'M' Award. You must first with the All Around Bible before you can qualify for the M, the M is awarded for displaying a good Christian spirit throughout your stay at the camp and exploring the different activities there.
This is Tyler and his camp counselor Ross.
This is his cabin and the group of boys who he stayed with. Tyler is very interested in archery and spent most of his days at the archery range. My father bought him his own bow last year after he completed Hunter's Safety, so I was glad to see it get some use. He won an award for archery also at camp along with 6 other ribbons for athletic events. ALSO, he never bathed the entire week except to swim in the lake and only changed his underwear once. Yuck!
