Chicago Arrives at The Cove

as of June 25, 2:30 p.m.

[written by Charlie Reid, Cove Camp Director]

Our first group of "Sunshine Kids" from Chicago arrived safely here in Union, Michigan a little after noon today [last weeks youth came from the Washington Gardens neighborhood of Elkhart, IN]. Teen Camp is now underway!

The staff greeted 43 teens, and their wide ranging personalities. Right off the bus, you could sense the many "attitudes" of todays teens. They run the gamete, from jumping with excitement that they are "back in the cove" to "where are we… and I'm stuck here for a whole week?" Many challenges await our counselors, and we are expecting God to work miracles in the lives of these valuable youth.

Pray with us for opportunities whereby the Lord uses us to soften the hearts of these youth, and show them the kind of love that lasts a lifetime.

Counselors look on in anticipation...

Off to a good start!
