Recently the department of Santa Cruz held their “jovenes” camp. “Jovenes” technically means “young people” but the lines are blurry as to who that includes. The core group of over 100 youth tended to be between 18-28, but there were fringe participants from 12 to 35 years old!
Tim and I were asked to be camp speakers and had a blast working with this group of young adults. Aside from our responsibilities as speakers, we played field games, joined group competitions, enjoyed times of worship, made lots of new friends and got very very little sleep—some parts of camp are the same no matter where you are.
During the camp, pastors and leaders throughout the department of Santa Cruz periodically dropped in. This was great because it’s an easy way to connect with a whole lot of people at once. We enjoy these events because we get to hear from numerous people, helping us grow in our understanding of the unique cultures in different regions of the country.
