My 212° Teen Camping Trip
As we loaded up the vans to go, I thought, finally, a whole week by myself away from my family! Well, I was not really by myself, because I was going with a large group of sponsors and teens, from my 212° teen church, to Falls Creek, OK, for church camp. Nevertheless, it felt good to be traveling somewhere on my own. Even though I knew it would be a long trip, I planned to have a lot of fun.

We could engage in various different activities that were scheduled, or spend time with friends. Some of the events I chose to do were, walking by myself and with friends, playing card and board games with my friends, and zip lining, which was extremely fun. Finally, the night before the last day, and while we were having evening worship, I was saved. I walked to the front of the church with a bunch of other teens who also wanted salvation. As I prayed, God accepted me into His holy kingdom forever. It was so awesome. Later on, we went back to the cabin where we had some desert and went to
