You Can’t Take THAT to Church Camp!
I just saw Moosey off to church camp. This is his first time to go. I think it will be a wonderful experience for him.
Anyway, as I was packing for him this weekend, I was reviewing our list of what he could not take, and I had to share it with you all.
What Not to Bring:
- No Electronic devices (cell phones, mp3/cd players, gameboys, washing machines, etc.)
- No prank items (water balloons, shaving cream, water-guns, etc.)
- No lighters, matches, fireworks, pocket knives, guns, bazooka, etc.
- No alcohol, tobacco or drugs
- No magazines
LOL!!!!! I certainly hope some of those were thrown in there to highlight the youth ministers sense of humor. I thought you all could use a smile on this Monday morning.

Too funny! We wouldn’t want anyone washing clothes now, would we? LMBO!!!!!!

Yeah, that had me rolling. And the fact that he had to list that you could not bring a bazooka. Ummm, how many families have a bazooka just laying around, I wonder?
ROFL!

Oh my! This post took me back a few years to when I was supervising a church sleepover for elementary age girls. We had a similar list. What we did not include was “no pets.”
When the girl walked in I noticed that her sleeping bag was rolled oddly. That’s okay, I thought, she probably did herself.
Later on, I noticed a crowd of girls around her sleeping bag. Some of the chaperones and I went over to investigate, only to discover that the girl had smuggled her pet rabbit to the sleepover. (That’s why the sleeping bag was rolled so oddly.)
Her mother was very surprised to get a call to pick up the pet in the middle of the night.
After that year we had to include “no pets” on the list.

Laura, that cracks me up. It sound like something my youngest would try to pull, though.
I really hope they do not call me to come get something he took. Camp is 6 hours away. EEK!
