Kaylee spent the week at Waters Edge Church Camp in Howell, MI. She went with one of her friends, Emily Willet. Her camp counselor's name was Alyssa. There were 10 girls in her group and six of them were from our church. The camp was from Sunday at 4:00 PM until Thursday at noon. This was Kaylee's first time away from home for more than a night without family. The hardest part for me was that this was the first time I was out of phone contact with her. It was very difficult not being able to talk to her each night to hear about her day. Thankfully our children's pastor, Janet Benjamin, was the camp speaker, so she would send me updates on how Kaylee was doing each day, which helped.

Kaylee had a fun week, but was worn out from the long days. They were busy from 8:30 AM until 10:45 PM each day. Kaylee said she wished the day ended at 9:00 PM instead. She had fun canoeing, swimming in the lake, going down the giant waterside, and playing the group games. When she got home she went to bed at 6:30 PM and didn't wake up until 6:30 AM the next day and she was still tired. I guess she has time to catch up on sleep while we're in South Haven...
