Great week
I just got back from beautiful Durango, Colorado. I spent the week with 1,300 teenagers and adults at Student Life Camp. To honor my IT theme on the site, I’ll throw in some techno-goodness up front. I was impressed by the camp’s use of the Internet. Student Life uses the Internet to allow parents to:
- Read daily news from the camp
- Send e-mails to the campers (delivered daily to the students)
- Listen live to the worship services
- View pictures from camp each day
- Send a gift card to a camper
I was impressed by how well it worked and how the Internet allows parents to be an unobtrusive part of camp. The kids in our group that received e-mails from their parents definitely felt that it added to their experience.
I was also excited because God was working in our students this week. We brought 70 teens to camp and 12 adults. I’m thrilled to see what God will do in the weeks and months to come as a result of this trip, and I’m so thankful to be a part of what He’s doing.
