Camp Guamiski is an annual summer camp for all missionary kids who's parents serve in Guatemala. Our boys went for the first time in 2022 and had an amazing time. They have looked forward to returning since that camp ended. The location is on a beautiful missionary property and is only about a 30 minute drive away from Antigua. It is close and convenient for us to get to.
Last year and this year our Summer Sojourner students have served there as counselors. Both years the students have loved it. The workers arrive on Sunday afternoon for orientation and preparation. The campers arrive on Monday morning.

They were so excited!!!
The theme this year was What Are You Living For.
The students took a few photos of the boys for me throughout the week. You know I was thankful to get them!

We were counting down the hours until we picked them all up on Friday afternoon. We had missed all of them that week. There was a parent program at 1:00. When we pulled in the students all ran to greet us with big hugs and smiles. It warmed our hearts!!
Cheering for us when we arrived.
