Here at Grace Adventures, we're all about flexibility. If something isn't meeting the needs of our campers or producing an environment for fun & excellence, we adapt to make sure it does. For instance, this week, we only had 4 kids signed up for soccer and 8 in basketball. Monday, HJ, our soccer coach, was finding it difficult to actually play soccer with the small number of campers. So he teamed up with Tim, our basketball coach, and created a Bask-cer-ball or a Soc-ball specialty. I've been out there twice this week (even played a little soccer yesterday) and the kids are having a blast, learning a lot, and simply enjoying the sport of it. Isn't that what camp is all about? Having a good time in a safe and excellent way?

We have to be willing to adapt, to change. If you were given a front row seat to our director's meetings, you would see a whole bunch of change. We don't wait for the end of the summer to fix something for next year. We're on it right then, and we have an amazing staff that is patient, flexible, and extremely gracious. There are many stories I could tell but it's almost time for staff devos, and that is pretty stinkin' important.
