Young Life Camp [Pico Escondido]

Young Life Camp.

It just never grows dull.

Because of Jesus I would assume :)

A few weekends ago

we headed about 10 minutes up the mountain

to Pico Escondido,

Young Life's camp in the DR.

It was an amazing weekend.

Coffee in hand... ready for the weekend.

The day before camp we had 35 friends signed up.

Friday rolls around and 55 friends hop on the bus.

God's cool like that.

We were SO BLESSED by a Young Life team from the midwest

who came down as our assigned team.

They worked hard and showed us an excellent weekend.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.

High school shenanigans.

Plus, isn't Pico beautiful? 

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was

the 2am HOT showers.

hot water + quiet + silence + tranquilo = oh yes please

Just a late night baseball game... no big deal

It's 1:30am.

We're laying on a mattress outside our cabins.

We can't stop giggling.

This culture LOVES to dance,

but the square dance was a tid-bit tricky...

But of course there was smiling and laughing 

and general fun having.

There was a crazy downpour on Saturday afternoon

that provided some intense puddle jumping.

Again... Pico... beautiful!

Alicia and I got the amazing opportunity

to talk real life with these young ladies.

Those times were some of my very favorite.

We had an amazing weekend.

And because of the way YL works

it doesn't end there!

These are the people that I do life with.

YL club, the plaza, school, campaigners, basketball games.

This is so not over.

I am so grateful.

What are some of your favorite YL camp/camp memories?
