Update

Well there have been lots of things taking place since the last post.
We are preparing for our first week of camp. The summer staff is here and working hard to get camp ready. Cabins have been cleaned, bath houses have been pressure washed, the kitchen has been scrubbed from top to bottom, the horses have new shoes, and weed eating and mowing have been going on in between the rain. If you have ever been at camp when we have been low on water then you know that we aren't complaining about the rain. However the rain has delayed the completion of the pool and the new boys cabin. Everyone has been working as hard as they can to have these projects completed. Much of the work has taken place while it was raining, of course it's hard to poor a new bottom for a pool when it has four feet of water in it.
But swimming and even a new cabin are not why folks come to Short Mountain Bible Camp. There is something about coming up that one lane mountain, and driving through the gate that puts a smile on your face. Camp is an opportunity to spend time with friends that we haven't seen since last year and to make new friends this year. If you have ever been to camp then you know that the best part about camp is not the pool, the horses, the food, or even the canteen. The best part of camp is the opportunity to study God's word and worship with others.
If you have ever had the opportunity to watch the sun set from the top of Short Mountain Bible Camp and the only sounds you hear are those of the birds singing and the wind blowing then you know why you come to camp every year. We are so blessed.
