I´m back from Stony Lake Lutheran Camp (Living Water Ministries). I´ve been there with a group called „Bridge Builders“ (high schoolers – around 14-18) for the whole week. We slept in sleeping bags, we were using repellents everywhere, we ate (sometimes really unhealthy) American food and had a great time with each other.
The main topic of the camp was racism. We were talking a lot about this theme, what it is and how to fight against racism. This topic was based on biblical story about the Good Samaritan. The kids were really talkative which was great for the leaders. This topic is currently relevant in their world, because recently in America there is difficult conflict between African Americans and police officers.
Almost every morning we had „Morning Worship“ with reading a Bible and singing songs. During the day we played games and twice a day we had „curriculum time“. We were divided into few groups and that was time for working in a group, talking about racism and sharing with each other about our experiences with racism.
Every night we had „Campfire“ which means singing Christians songs near the fire. The „Campfire“ during the last night was at Benona Beach, which is pretty close to Stony Lake Camp. Closing Worship (Friday afternoon) included communion and washing each other´s feet according to the example of Jesus Christ.
