Here are some of my thoughts as I consider the highs and lows, and ultimately how worthwhile it all is.

It's worth being upfront about some of the challenges: camps are costly. There is a high fee to be paid if a young person is able to attend, and an even greater cost for leaders. This often involves a significant financial contribution, time beforehand and then taking a week off work to serve intensely, often returning afterwards far more tired than we begun!
