Camp Thurman 2016

The boy's adventures for a week at Camp Thurman may be over but the memories will last a lifetime! Mason's 2nd annual experience & Ayden's 1st were truly wonderful. The excitement in their little voices after a long day of play was enough to remind us how thankful we are for these opportunities. Camp Thurman is AWESOME ... quoted daily! :) The messages we received from each counselor makes us SO proud of our little guys!! (see below)

Mason's Counselor & Assistant - He really really enjoyed FuFu!

Kidron Valley - Swing

 
A note we received from FuFu:
"Hey Jason and Christina! Fufu here! I am here to fill you in how much of a blast I have had with Mason! Mason is one of the kindest and respectful boys I have ever counseled. He has followed every rule I have given him accordingly and has been nothing but kind. Mason has served as the man for encouragement for our group. For example, today at the K-Klimb Zipline, Parker and Walton were afraid to go on the zipline, but before something could come out of my mouth, Mason talked with them saying that "Christ was lifting them" throughout the ride. Throughout the week so far, Mason has lifted the spirits of the other campers whenever they have felt down about something. He also performed that same action with his brother whenever they were doing the Tarzan's Swing. Mason pushed him to go to the highest level at the swing, and certainly got him to do it. Mason's uplifting ability is reflection of what the Lord seeks in all of us, and it has been a wonderful thing to see what he has done in action here at Camp Thurman, and I want to thank you guys for bringing Mason and his brother here to explore more about the Lord, but also have a fun time in doing so. You guys rock!"


Ayden's Counselor & Assistants - Shave was so fun!
 

Fun day of archery & BB guns!

Part of a note we received from Shave:
"Ayden has been so awesome this week Ayden loves doing all the activities at camp. Ayden listens to everything I say and follows all the rules. Ayden does everything he needs to do and has been an awesome kid in a group of twelve boys. It has been great having him in my group this week and I can't wait to do even more fun games with him and the rest of the boys."

Mason: Camp Thurman - Summer 2015

We've heard lots of good things about Camp Thurman from so many friends & this summer we're very fortunate to receive a partial scholarship & send Mason to camp for the week! He had the most AMAZING time ever!! Picking him the first day & he looked at Ayden & said "Ayden, this place is awesome, you gotta go with me next year!". Melted our heart. ;) Good thing - Ayden will be 5 soon so he's age eligible for camp too. I've already got the date on my calendar when open enrollment begins - they fill very fast & we don't want to miss it!











Mason had so much fun zip lining, rope swinging (Tarzan's swing), water gun blasts (water wagon), swimming twice each day in different pools, open field time, counselor skits, lazy river, & of course shopping in the "snack shack" every day for a yummy treat or two. We can't wait for next year & every year to come that hopefully all three boys can enjoy this wonderful establishment!
