believing in bowl a thon

One of our camper mom's who benefits from our scholarship program is so excited about our bowl a thon fundraiser she has asked multiple family and friends about their businesses donating gift cards and prizes to us.

It's nice to see both gratefulness and the acknowlegement that camp has been a good thing for her son.

More kids responding to the Good News (many from Morton again)

TS at Morton Camp reading 1 Samuel

Emily was subbing as a Morton site director the first 3 days of the summer.  She started a dialogue with an older boy about exciting parts of the Bible to read.  She got him into 1 Samuel, and then passed on to nathan (the regular director) to check in on his Bible reading
