Here's a camp memory that you'll all appreciate :)

If you have a "memory" you want to share.....let me know!!!

Christy

Here are the submissions for the "how do you recover after camp"......

SARAH TUCKER:

Recovery tactics: SLEEPING countless hours :), watching Olympics (trying to catch up), spending time with family, and walking!

JESSE COOPER:

-sleep, and lots of it
-postponing most activities, for a week or so
-shopping, merely for fun (it's wonderfully relaxing to go to a store other than Walmart for a change)
-taking long hot baths
-reading a favorite book
-pampering yourself with an at-home spa
-do something you love to do, as long as it doesn't drain your energy
-listen to music
-get creative and make something, whether edible, decorative, or just fun
-sleep some more

JUSTIN WYNNE:

Recovery tactics: Sleep... Thats it

I see a common thread in all of these answers :)

Hope all of you are catching up on sleep and doing whatever it is that relaxes you.....

Camp is over!

Wow.....what a summer!

Can't believe the 9 weeks are actually over....it flew by!  

I pray that each and every one of you walked away from the summer changed, challenged and knowing that you were used by God.  

I want to get this blog active again and want YOU ALL to be involved in it....

SOOOOO.....

......I'm sure each of you are recovering in your own way (mine was to alternate between cleaning my house and napping)....

I'm going to be posting some of YOUR "recovery" tactics on here......just message me on facebook with some of the ways you are recovering after a long summer, and I will post them here.....should be interesting :)  

I love you all....and eventually I will actually MISS you all....but for now I am enjoying the 'peacefulness' of the camp....ha!
