Newbies
It’s always fun to watch the new campers at Royal Family Kids Camp. It seems they’re surprised at every turn. Little Kayla didn’t know what to expect. She met her friendly counselor, Pam, but the young girl seemed very reserved and a bit overwhelmed.
After their first lunch together, Kayla wanted to fix her new friend’s hair. “You can play with my hair later before bedtime,” Pam affirmed. Kayla objected. “Oh no, my momma won’t let me stay with you tonight.” Pam explained to her, “Sweetie, you get to stay all week.” That bit of news caused Kayla to come out off her shell. “I love y’all – and I love it here!”
Another “newbie”, Kara, seemed amazed at dinner the first day of camp. She laid her fork down and sat back. Pointing at each person at the table she whispered, “One…two…three…four….five. I’ve made five friends already!”
At camp, we love the children who are with us for the first time. This is a place where all surprises are good ones.”
