David's Corner - Youth Update

In the first two weeks of March, I had a great time with the Youth Club kids and the children who participated in the 5:30 Club. Everything ran smoothlyut then I had to leave for two weeks to go to my mid-year retreat with BVS and EIRENE (my German volunteer organization). It was a good time to get some rest and to focus on the last half of my year in Hagerstown.

As soon as I returned from my retreats, we had a field trip for our Youth Club families to visit our church camp at Shepherd's Spring, For most of the kids, it was the first time they had been there. The camp staff had a meal, a couple of games and a tour prepared for us. We all had a great time, but after a couple of hours we had to leave. Some of them  got so excited that they are thinking of coming back for the summer camps. 

My next big project is the Saturday Hangout Time, an open program on Saturday afternoons during the summer, where we offer our parking lot for children of the neighborhood to come and play. If any of you are interested in helping, pleas contact me.
