Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Greetings from the most wonderful place on earth – Camp Capers!

It is the most wonderful place because it is one of those amazing places where God’s Spirit roams freely capturing the hearts and imaginations of young and old alike.  In this place many of God’s children, myself included, discovered the intense love of God and a life-changing invitation to follow Jesus in service and ministry.

As Dean of Primary Camp B I am privileged to share this week with the campers and staff here this week.  I am privileged to be a part of what God desires to do in the lives of His children.  I am privileged to  watch God continue to form and grow both campers and staff into “the stature of the fullness of God.” (Eph. 4.13)

We are spending this week talking about “Abounding in Hope” (Romans 15.13).  Today we heard about Moses and the people of Israel’s journey of hope to the land of promise.  Over the next couple of days we will look at other Biblical stories in which God’s people experience and extend hope.  Our time in chapel both in the morning and in the evening is a wonderful time of learning about our God of abundant hope and learning many new songs praising Him.

Of course, the campers are making nametags in Arts and Crafts, playing Capture the Flag, swimming, eating wonderful food and doing all the great things that makes a week at Camp so much fun.  Mealtimes are rocking with cabin chants and everyone is enjoying spending time with friends old and new.  In short, we are all having a wonderful time!

Thank you for entrusting your campers to those of us who serve here this week.  Know that we are doing our best to make sure your camper has an amazing time and, more importantly, experiences the love of God in a way that will shape their lives for eternity!

Blessings,
The Rev. Ram Lopez
Dean, Primary Camp B
