Going to Costa Rica

Some of you have heard. Most have not. But here is the official word: I am going to Costa Rica to help Boy With A Ball work at youth camp/conference! I leave Atlanta (ATL) for San Jose (SJO) on September 22nd and return back to ATL on the 27th.

While we're there, we will host a camp for 250 kids. The camp starts on Thursday and ends on Sunday. During this time, we hope to teach the kids leadership qualities and to build relationships that could one day open doors to more deeper relationships. This is an awesome opportunity that we are VERY excited about! We will do this through special speakers (including Jamie Johnson) and activities that require teamwork and leadership. (there is more to it, but I don't know all the details yet.) I do know that the camp will be structured very much like Camp of Champions back in the States. And as with CoC, my primary role for this camp will be Tech Director. The nice thing this time around is I can't bring ANYTHING with me. I will be using gear that is already at the facility. The only things I will be packing is clothes and my computer. Something I'm definitely not used to!
