Dear KCF,

Thanks for donating for The Cat Springs Retreat Kid’s Camp so that I could go. I really enjoyed it and I look forward to coming next year. Maybe when I get older I can become a counselor like Van or Paul. My counselor, Van is very cool. My favorite day was Messy Day! The Blob was super fun, once I got catapulted and I flew like 20 feet in the air. The James Bond game was the best part of camp. My friend and I both worked together to get the straws in the bucket. Once again, thank you.

*This is a thank you letter that I received from a camper who received a partial scholarship making it possible for him to attend his very first church camp!

Jamie, Tara and I ate dinner and went to service with the kids Wednesday night at Cat Spring. I was overwhelmed by what I witnessed as the kids were led out by the lake to participate in an outside service. As I watched all of them listening to the speaker I felt like I was in a scene by the Sea of Galilee with Jesus teaching the people. The worship was awesome and the teaching was outstanding. It was so peaceful and inviting. I watched our kids connect with God and respond to Him and His great love during prayer time and I was extremely blessed.

I have been involved with youth/kids camps since I was eight years old as a camper, counselor, teacher and director (only missing 2 when Tara and Trey were babies) and it was a difficult decision to “allow” another camp to teach and lead our children. I prayed hard and really struggled to decide what would be best for the kids. As a mom and children’s director I wanted to do what I thought would be the best for them. I had an absolute peace from the Lord as I attended the service this year. This is a quality camp that teaches God’s Word and really focuses on connecting kids to Jesus as Savior.

Thank you so much for giving to help serve the Body of Christ in our kid’s camps. Your gifts have truly made huge differences in the lives of our kids! You are greatly appreciated!

Loving the Kids,
Polly
