The same scenario has been repeated now for 10 consecutive years: packing according to the camp checklist, the rush to meet the bus at the Meijer parking lot, the last hugs and goodbyes (yes, I'm thankful my son doesn't have any qualms about hugging me in public), and the prayers that go with Tyler. This year seems a little different though. Maybe it's that Tyler is not going with friends, although there will be friends when he get there, or maybe it's because he's not going as a camper or youth volunteer (he didn't know he could have so much fun washing dishes). This year Tyler is going to Camp Barakel for lifeguard training. What's his motivation? He hopes to be able to spend the entire summer at the camp next year as a college staff member! Camp Barakel holds a very special place in his heart; it's his favorite place in Michigan, for sure!
