YoungLives Camp Was...

Mentors who share their hearts, love & lives with teen moms who need hope. Sometimes this means dressing like a pirate or princess. Sweet.
Friendship, laughter, adventure, & laughing so hard you wet your pants. Just being real. 
Childcare volunteers who fall in love with a baby over the week, and bawl like a baby when they say goodbye. Especially the boys.
Sweet children, God's creation, miracles, each and every one. 
Friends who share a passion for teen moms, for serving alongside one another & for Jesus.

"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13 

Better than Disneyland

Yes, they've arrived! 140 beautiful babies have arrived with their moms and their mom's mentors. What an arrival! Planes, buses and cars brought these incredible people from all across the west and south to experience the best week of their lives. What an incredible privilege and honor to be here to love on them. 

See those smiles...laughter...friendship...fun. Awesome. 

Waiting for Babies...

Stuffing Goodie Bags into the wee hours of the morning....
Working on the schedule...
Games with Childcare Volunteers!

We welcomed 110 childcare volunteers to camp today to prep for teen moms, mentors & babies arriving monday...

They rolled in excited and ready to go...do they know they'll change around 5000 diapers this week? Awesome. 

We had an incredible first night Club, and hot tub time. 

Welcoming babies tomorrow...

Road Trip

Big Red, taking the trip to Lost Canyon...

Are we there yet? 

Had a fun ride up to Williams, and haven't stopped moving since! 

We unpacked a basement full of 150 highchairs, 100 pack n plays, 50 bouncers, 20 swings, 30 exersaucers...you get the idea. More to come...

Lost Canyon, here we come....

Leaving in true Beverly Hillbilly style, in my Ram Truck pulling a U-Haul full of baby junk...sweet. So excited to get up there and get camp ready for teen moms to arrive on Monday. I'll be posting our fun adventures from camp...

If you're a person who prays, please check out my Lost Canyon Blog to see our prayer requests and schedule daily. I'll be adding things to that blog as they come up. Thanks!
