If you spend any real time with me, you know I LOVE thinking and strategizing about camp and I LOVE LOVE LOVE being in environments where I am surrounded by wise people who work in camping as well.
So I came into this conference with high expectations: for meeting and connecting with people, but I half-expected the actual conference itself to be a flop. Well it was a lot more of a flop than a success.
And it wasn't necessary the conference that flopped, but more the personality and vibe of the people there. I felt like I was surrounded by people who wanted to "up one" you in bring close to Jesus AND couldn't say anything of significance about anything. Any question or conversation I had seemed to be answered with "well I just pray about it" or " you should really pray about that" and lofty words that don't mean anything. Which it was done so in such a fake cheesy way--which I hate!!
Though it wasn't the best conference I did walk away with these positive things:
•if I ever lead a seminar, it better be damn good and have thought put into it!!
•not everyone thinks deeply about camping, is a unique trait I have and will benefit me in life
•Forest Home is a cool camp, where buildings are built on top of each other, a major road cuts through the middle, yet has achieved this uniqueness and culture that has changed lives for years.
•their Zipline and sky trail is really cool!!! I also love doing camp activities where my friends do the activities with me instead of for me!
It was also great for me to get away and experience camping people and my co-workers in this environment, so good.
Forest Home is a really cool place, if you ever get a chance to go to camp there you should. I took a few pictures of a few meeting spaces, wish I took more to share with you all! Also, I felt like I became a friend with every person I interacted with on their staff.
