In conclusion we had a good time at Gator Wilderness Camp School and it was interesting to see a different type of ministry being done. The camp is a good idea: the structure, routine and discipline for the campers and staff. These are basic life skills everyone needs to learn and make a part of their life. Campers learn to do various tent and campsite chores such as making their bed a certain way, folding their clothes and keeping a neat foot locker, raking trails and generally keeping a neat and organized campsite. Other details of camp include learning a correct way to set a table and how to interact positively at mealtimes. What really holds the camp together is the focus on Jesus. Campers are involved in group activities that include work schedules, cooking, games, swimming, canoeing, etc. The location of the camp is important. It was out of the way and provides a place for boys to explore God's creation.

We chose to participate in this service trip because it allowed us to get to know our group members better, experience live at a camp like this, and work in a way that would serve God. It was a way to sacrifice some of our time to serve others.
