This is the fearless Recreational Director of Singing Valley Bible Camp, Malcham Muth

Summer Bible Camps

We've been busy this month with Bible camps. July 7 through July 11, Mary and I (Esther) worked at Camp Salvation as cook and counselor, respectively. We joined several kids at camp who already attend our church's Awana Clubs. Mary's sons, Zephaniah and Austin attended as campers, as well as Tim's oldest, Mark. Tim, our son, was the director at this camp. It was a great week, even with the difficulties of short staff and horses getting out of their corral. God worked in the hearts of several campers. I think many will remember the truths taught at the first chapel time by Speaker Tim Norris: "God's Love: needs no reason, has no boundaries, and will never end. God loves us so much!

Malcham, our 17-year old son, attended Singing Valley Bible Camp as the recreational director for the junior camp week, July 13 through 18. I didn't go and cook as I have done in the past several years, but I did transport a camper and take pictures of the campers and staff while I was there on that first day. On the last day of camp, our whole family went up to camp to retrieve the one camper, Johnathan McKelvey, and then we all went to the Royal Gorge Bridge Park. It was a great time of vacation. We spent about six hours at the park, still not seeing and doing all the things that a person can do while there.

This past week, Mary went back up to Camp Salvation to cook for the Sr. High week, while Malcham got to attend as a camper. They will come home tomorrow. Hopefully, they will have had a wonderful time.

Next week, Malcham and I will go back to Singing Valley Bible Camp for Jr-Sr.Week. I will cook and Malcham will get to be a camper, again. Great fun!
