AFC Kids Camp

When Tonya and I were at A&M we went on a lot of weekend trips, a lot of mission trips, worked at Camp of the Hills, and did a lot of VBS and church camps.  Whenever we did those things, people always told us how thankful they were and how much it meant to them for us to come spend time with them and do things like that for their families and kids.  I always knew they meant it but I also always kind of thought they were just overstating their feelings and trying to make us feel good.  I now have a different perspective.

Kelly and Sara Davidson brought four aggies to Phayao, Thailand for five days to put on a kids camp for the children of our team.  I can’t explain to you how blessed and loved we feel that they would want to do that for us and our children.  They put on an amazing three day camp full of games, fun activities, Bible stories, crafts, snacks, field trips, swimming, and lots of love.  I kept telling them over and over how thankful we were and how wonderful it was for our kids and for us and what a blessing it was for them to give to our families in such an amazing way.  It was an awesome time of fun and learning for our kids and something I think they will remember probably for the rest of their lives.

Thank you again Kelly, Sara, Jenna, Nathan, Michelle, and Haley.  You have blessed our families more than you know and I’m sure if you are like me, you probably think I’m exaggerating and maybe even being a little corny.  But that’s okay.  Please know that you made a mark in the lives of a lot of people here in Northern Thailand.  Enjoy the pictures and videos below or click here to see the entire gallery of the whole camp.

Our wonderful aggies and the place they had kids camp everyday.  Derran and Ann’s neighbors let us use their yard and this building which is actually a classroom.  They had plenty of room, a great yard to play games in, and most importantly, air conditioning.  It worked out great!

Kelly and Sara and the aggies also made up a Kids Camp song.  I’m not sure who exactly wrote it, but they did a great job.  It was written to the tune of “We Are The Aggies” here is a picture of the words to the song and then a video of us singing it on the last day of camp.
