3 weeks ago I was given the great opportunity to return to Colorado to be a part of Super Kids Sports Kamp (SKSK). This was my 5th year as a camp leader and a blessing to Jen and I to return to our roots after being gone for a year.
Super Kids is a sports camp for 8-12 year olds that takes place at Cherry Hills Community Church. 300+ children come each year to be a part of the camp. On top of that, the junior high and senior high students who are part of the ministry are the counselors for the camp. All in, there is over 500 people as a part of the camp, with adults as sports leaders, students as counselors, and kids as campers. It is by far my favorite camp and if I was give a choice to return and be a part of any event at CHCC it would definitely be SKSK.
I was asked to be a part of the program, which means that I was a part of the skits and did the teaching for the week. I wish each of you were there because there is way too much involved in the camp to write on a blog, but here is a snippet.
I was a Secret Agent named Rembaldi, but you may call me Remi. My partner was Maxwell Smart and we were on a mission to defend a secret potion that, when sprayed on a victim, makes them do homework all the time (oh no!). Camp was seriously in jeopardy because if the camp was sprayed then SKSK would be no more. Seriously I had little kids yelling at me to not give up the potion because they didn't want to do homework all the time.
There was a bad guy named Mr. X who was out to destroy camp. Along the way, the kids discovered that Maxwell Smart was really an evil double agent working alongside Mr. X. When he would come on stage they would boo him mercilessly and yell at me to not trust him. Of course I did.
Anyhow, it turns out that I get sprayed, camp is in jeapordy, but good always wins in the end doesn't it. The kids were able to snap me out of the spell with all the fun we had and were eventually able to convince Mr. X and Maxwell that camp was awesome. Redemption to all.
Don't you love happy endings.
Here is a couple pics from the week.
