Winter always brings a host of new and exciting things happening around camp. This season in Florida brings the opposite effect as it does for Northerners. As the cold weather hits up North things start to slow down and projects are left until the Spring. As the beautiful weather calls many people to Florida, Gator Camp gets busier and busier. This winter we were blessed with so many wonderful work groups and individuals who came to serve and work on various projects around camp. With the whirlwind of meeting new people, starting and finishing various projects and working day in and day out, it sometimes feels exhausting and overwhelming. It is always worth it though, to introduce new people to camp and see their excitement to get involved with what we are doing here. God is great at sending the right people to camp and blessing us in so many unexpected ways.
The boys kept busy this session as well with camping trips to the Everglades, canoe trips to the Peace River and different projects around camp like sugar cane cooking, tent building, and learning to make beef jerky. Two of our groups also had the opportunity to learn how to carve from a group of gentlemen in Arcadia who gave us their Mondays to come to camp.
Thank you for all the continued ways you love Gator Camp. Our boys and staff are so blessed to have your prayers and support.
The Buccaneers were one of the groups that spent their Monday mornings carving this session.
