How do you sum up a life-changing four-day event? I’m not
sure there are even words that can fully describe the emotions that I feel.
Every year we leave Camp No Limits with new friends and closer bonds to our old
friends. Who knew it was possible to love people after only knowing them for
four short days? I can tell you that I
know, I’ve experienced it, year after year when we attend CNL. It’s
life-changing each and every time.
This was our second year at Camp No Limits Idaho. The
location is breath taking. Those of you who have read about it before on the
blog already know. Those of you who haven’t, let me share again. You arrive to
a dock on the lake. You unload your stuff onto a boat and then take a short
boat ride across the lake where you stay for the next four days. It’s rustic
and perfect.
To be honest, I could spend anywhere with these people. We’ve
been to Florida Camp No Limits, Maine Camp No Limits and Idaho Camp No Limits…
there’s many other locations that we haven’t even explored. It’s not about the
location. It’s about the people. These
people are unlike any others that you’ll meet. You go from complete strangers
to know some very intimate details of their lives in such a short time. Dawson
(one of the teen campers) hit the nail on the head when he said “these are my
people”.
In the coming weeks, I’m going to share some highlights of
our trip and OUR PEOPLE!
