Men and Boys





Peter and Tyler (of High School Musical fame) shared a tent at a recent 'men and boys' camp. This was the time of the year when the men and their boys of another church got together for an outdoor adventure. This was a time for relaxed Christian fellowship shared by men, and an opportunity for their boys to fully experiment with fire.

It was Tyler's church that organised this camp, so Peter was technically a 'gate crasher' there. This was his third time for Peter and Tyler's forth time. Peter appreciates the welcome he always receives as the 'outsider' on these camps and has developed good friendships with many of the men of that church who commit to the camp. They are a great bunch of guys.

The food did not have to be airy-fairy, and the great challenge was not to burn it overly. There was plenty of fallen timber for fuel and one of the guys always brought his chainsaw. We were made!



The bonfire at right was the largest the boys made. We all learned while we were there that God was like a consuming fire [Hebrews 12:29]... jokes aside.

Sounds like a great retreat, Dad - the fire sounds fun...
