Camp Life So Far

I wish it was possible for kids to skip the ages of 6-8... except for Lanny. Kidding, kidding...
Well... as you can probly tell from that last sentance I am having loads of fun at camp and we just finished the Eager Beavers camp..ages 6-8... I was in charge of 7 kids... pretty much 24 hours a day for 4 days. Wow. Alot of fun, but very tiring. I also taught Canoeing for 2 hours a day... oh ya.. I am a master canoer.

So many adventures have been had so far... but I will share them when I get home.
What I have mostly been learning....hmm..
Probly that we have to let God be in control of everything in our lives... I wouldnt have been able to handle those kids without him... and I wouldnt be so calm right now about this fall and my freakin whole life pretty much. I dont know what I am doing... but yet.. I have an utmost peace about it.

Sadly to say I have no major injuries yet... scrapes, bruises.. all the good stuff..
I have a wicked tan already... cause I am never inside... and it is perfectly clear and 30 degrees out...

I am a master cliff jumper... still havent done the Widowmakers yet (60ft) but I have done a few 40's and many 25ers.

I am eating sooo much... holy... I think I am growing again. I keep burning all the energy though which is good.

I have also come to realize that... I have never really had a style... if you know what I mean... when have I ever been associated with a certain style?... I am not just talking clothing.. but sort of personality... I had my little wanna be emop stage that lasted probly 25 minutes... and my other stages but... ya...
I am quite diverse... Which I like...
I think Gangster is my next! :D

I am not going to lie... I have listened to sooo much Akon here its not even funny...
Everyone listens to rap and R & B... haha I try not to be converted... But I am pretty much the 7th letter in the alphabet soo! ;P

SUPPER TIME! I will peak back into the blogger world soon again.

I love you all...
The next 5 days are day camp sooo I pretty much work 9 hours a day and get the rest off... should be pretty sweet!

Who I am

Hello, my name is Joshua Geddert. I am the Assistant Program Director at a Christian children's camp called Camp Homewood, located on Quadra Island. Our goal at Homewood is to "...present the Love of God and the claims of Christ..." In case you're wondering, yes, we do operate year round. Our way about camp just changes a little bit in the winter months. In the summer we're an exceptional Summer Camp... and we have Sailboats, Horses, the ocean, and a freshwater lake.

I was born in Kelowna BC, but I grew up in Kamloops BC. Born into the best Christian family possible, I was raised as a pastors kid and now a missionaries son. I have been working in camp ministry since I moved out at 17. I truly believe God has called me to this place right now and i'm going to use the talents He gave me to effect the kids and parents that come to Homewood. By His strength and might, I will give my all to glorify His name.

How You Can Support Me

First off you can support me through your prayers. At Homewood there a lot of needs. The need for staff during the year, the need for campers, the need for staff who are willing and unafraid to talk to campers about God, and the need for campers who are willing to open up. Staff unity. Safety. Health. Growth... the list goes on.

Secondly. You can support us(Homewood and Myself) financially. Of course I was going to bring it up. Let's be honest, a lot of the large scale stuff going on at Homewood involves money. Where does that come from? Donators and tithe givers like you and me! Search your heart! Ask God! If God wants you to give then do it, and do it with a cheerful heart.

Here are ways you can give...
You can give a one time donation to Camp Homewood or directly to myself. Send a check in the mail.
Camp Homewood, Box 40, Heriot Bay, BC, Canada. V0P 1H0

I challenge you to setup Pre-Authorized payments. It's the easiest. Contact us at the same address or by email or phone. We will send you the forms for automatic withdrawal. We will give you a receipt for tax purposes
camp@homewood.bc.ca or (250)285-3483

You can also go through canadahelps.org (they can tax receipt you immediately)

I can only hope and pray that you pray about this! God is with you!
