Anneka-ism

I spent many years attending summer camp when I was young (An all-girls camp through the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada being my favourite as a little kid) So when the church we were attending announced that they offered the same camp for kids ages 8 and up, I immediately asked Anneka if she wanted to go!

I explained that it was a 6-day sleep-away-camp. That she would sleep in a cabin with other little girls her age and a counsellor, swim, play games, and camp-fires, and learn about Jesus. I excitedly talked about my fun years at camp, and then paused to ask Anneka what she thought:

Me: So...Anneka...do you think you'd like to go to camp this summer?
Anneka: Uh-uh...no way!!
Me: *surprised* What? Really? Why not?
Anneka: Are you kidding?? How do I know I can even TRUST those people?????

Ah yes...she's her father's daughter.

So no, it appears that Anneka isn't ready for camp. That's okay with me...I prefer her with me anyhow!

We thought about camp for the boys too. Calvary Temple has a 3 day camp for kids 5 - 7 but we also agreed that it was way too early to put them in a camp they don't know anyone while they are so very young. I went to camp a lot too. I was even a counselor one year.

Maybe next year for Anneka. Your girls are sure growing up.
