A Guide to Great Camping!

I asked our veteran high school students if they could make a list on "how to get the most out of camp".  I must say that I agree with this list.  Even though it may seem a little long, if you follow this list your next week will be absolutely awesome!

Here is their guide to great camping at Jonathan Creek:
1.  Participate in as much group activities as possible.
2.  Don't spend free time in your dorm room (go out and do stuff)
3.  Don't look for camp boyfriend/girlfriends
4.  Don't take your phone anywhere.  Leave it in your dorm!
5.  Eliminate distractions - Focus on God!
6.  Do your quiet time - don't just sleep
7.  Do something you wouldn't normally do
8.  Be serious in worship, have fun in morning celebration
9.  Be active in small groups
10.  Listen to your small group/Bible study leader
11.  Try to learn something from your leader
12.  Sleep!!!  You need your rest!
13.  Don't prevent others from sleeping - They need their rest too!
14.  Keep up with your hygiene!
15.  Don't overdo it on the food - don't waste it
16.  DO EAT - Make sure you eat enough!
17.  Stay hydrated - Drink plenty of WATER
18.  Listen to sermon at night - take notes, look for one big thing each night.
19.  Bring your Bible - to camp, and worship
20.  Listen to your chaperones
21.  Bring tennis shoes and extra socks
22.  Stay in groups of 3 or more
23.  Don't annoy other rooms or groups
24.  Don't spend time "fixing yourself up".  It will be hot and sweaty and your makeup will run!
25.  Start praying not that God prepares your heart!
