Summer Camp

Last week Jaxen had a wonderful opportunity to attend a summer camp - Kanakuk KampOut - at a local church in KC. Here's a little about the camp:  

This camp is a high energy, non-stop excitement, traveling Christian day camp experience from Kanakuk for 5 to 12 year olds. Every KampOut! Kamper will see and hear that God is a loving Father and wonderful Creator who loves them and desires for us to love others. Our counselors have been hand-picked for their Christ-like patience and sensitivity, and they are committed to creatively share the importance of a life lived for Jesus Christ! Kids will have a blast flying down our zipline, scaling the climbing wall, bouncing in the incredible inflatables, and laughing at our crazy skits!

Jaxen attended last year and was so excited to attend this year!
Here he is on his last day, with his counselor.

Nik and Zane were able to attend his awards ceremony on Friday.

Jaxen got the "Creative" and "Bold" Certificate of Character.
His counselor wrote the following:
"Jaxen's imaginative mind and resolute demeanor allow him to bring 
excitement to a variety of situations. 
His tenacious deposition brings purpose to each day. 
Jaxen is a strong leader and willing encourager."

And he also got the “Fired-Up-and-Going-Nuts-Every-Minute" Award!

While Jaxen was at camp, Zane got to have some great daddy time!
They explored the "Clifford the Red Dog" play area....


Tried out a new park....

And even got an ice cream cone!

It was a fun week for the boys!

As you can imagine, Jaxen was exhausted.
I offered to take the boys to the pool on Thursday 
and Jaxen told me he wanted to have a night at home.

I am really glad he had the opportunity to attend this camp though!
They learned great truths like:
Jesus is Alive, Jesus is the Doctor, Jesus is the Shepherd, Jesus is the Vine, and Jesus is Better!
