We are off to a great start here at Camp Agape in the heat and humidity of South Carolina. The temps have been ranging from the high70s/low 80s in the morning to the mid to upper 90s by the afternoon. The heat index was over 100 the first full day of camp, with the “real” heat coming mid-week. We are expecting over 100 degrees Wednesday and Thursday with very high humidity. I can honestly say we have been going through a lot of water so far this week!

However, the heat has not affected the camp atmosphere at all. All 90 campers and 56 staff are enjoying the activities, fellowship, and the Compass Checks and Christian Living classes. The first few messages have been truly inspiring with good feedback from the campers.

This year has been one of our best starts to camp in a long time. On Wednesday our oldest boys and girls dorms will be heading off-site to experience class 2 or 3 rapids on the Saluda River near Columbia, South Carolina. They’ll tube a very scenic river in the heart of South Carolina. Needless to say, they are very excited.

Thank you all for your prayers so far, and please pray for good health for campers and staff and for God’s continued protection.
