Last week was our seventh and final week hosting teams for our 2016 Youth Mission Camp! This summer between both of our sites in Livingston and Tuskegee, we have been able to host about 24 teams of youth volunteers from churches all over the country. Thank you for all of your prayers, support, and encouragement! Without you, this ministry would not be possible!

Week 6
We hosted three teams during our sixth week of camp. Tuskegee hosted a middle school team from First Baptist Columbiana from Columbiana, Alabama who served with us through our day camp ministry for the first time! Chickfila’s Cow Appreciation Day happened to fall during this week, so we took a special trip to Chickfila with our friends from FBC Columbiana dressed as cows–what a fun time we had! Livingston hosted two teams during Week 6–Collins UMC and Kingfisher FUMC. We were so excited to have our friends from Collins, Mississippi join us for a second summer of service, and we were just as excited to meet a new group of friends all the way from Oklahoma. Shout out to the group from Kingfisher FUMC for driving about 12 hours to come and serve with us!
Week 7
During our seventh and final week of camp, we hosted five teams! Tuskegee hosted three teams–St. Paul UMC, St. Mark UMC, and Perdido Bay UMC. This was Tuskegee’s biggest week of the summer, hosting three teams totaling to about 50 youth and adults. Needless to say, we’ve been getting some great use out of those triple-decker bunkbeds in our newly renovated bunkrooms at Tuskegee United Methodist Church! St. Paul and Perdido Bay are both from Florida, and St. Mark is from Vestavia Hills, Alabama. This was our first time hosting all three of these groups–we enjoyed hosting you! Thank you for partnering with us! Livingston also hosted two groups during the last week of camp. Muir’s Chapel UMC from North Carolina and St. Luke’s UMC from Kilgore, Texas both joined us for the first time, and we had such a blast learning with and from them! We want to give a special thanks to all of our groups this week who joined us for our day camp field trips! We had so much fun, and our kids did too–thank you!
