Read, Aim...

Today is Monday! This is the first day of camp.  In 3 hours, 240 campers and leaders will arrive on the Malibu Princess, ready for the week of their lives.  Until then, an entire work crew (HS kids), summer staff (college age kids), property staff (Malibu staff who live here year round) assignment team (young life staff and key volunteers) are crazily getting ready for their arrival.  It is an incredible buzz!
Jeff is working with the other assignment team members and property staff to coordinate the details of the incredible welcome and opening festivities. He has been so busy since we arrived, he hasn't even showered.  Hopefully he will get to do that soon!  :)
The kids are busy playing with the other children of assignment team members (18 children in all).  Janna and the girls have a 'berry shop' where they pick berries, make juice or other treats and "sell" them to anyone who walks by. She is very interested in hanging out.
Deek has already cracked his plastic sword playing with other boys.
I have gotten to spend time teaching my online classes so that I can be free when the campers get here!

I think we are ready to go.

Please pray that the kids will let loose and have fun, laugh at the jokes Jeff and the program team has planned, and break down their walls to hear the incredible message!

I love that 18 years ago this session we were there on Work Crew. Praying for those there now and those that were there so many years ago. Hubers, you are such a blessing! Enjoy every single second.
