Some People

Rock was a great success for camping! We had over 300 people attend the workshops about camping. We played games, sang songs, talked about summer camp, retreats, working on summer staff, and heard from Andy Thronton about CCYM's challenge to youth groups. CCYM is challenging youth groups from around the conference to to raise money to help build the new dinning hall at West River. The will be prizes for the groups that raise the most money.

We also had hundreds of people stop by the camping table in the Rock Shop to request a camping brochure and register for a chance to win an Ipod Touch. The drawing has been done and we are just waiting to validate the entry before sending the Ipod to the winner.

The keynote speaker at Rock, Grace Matthews, spoke about "some people" who brought the blind man to Jesus so he could be healed. She talked about the importance of having "some people" who will take you to the place where you can receive help. Sometime we cannot see that we need help, or what will help us, and that is when we need others to guide us.

You can be "some people" for someone. Be "some people" and bring a friend to camp. Be "some people" and raise money at your church to send someone to camp who can't afford it. Be "some people" and volunteer as a director and bring your friends to be counselors. Camp may be just what someone needs, but they will never know until they have "some people" to bring them.
