This may just be the most amazing part, besides #2. Sure, God is the same everywhere, but it’s truly incredible to be somewhere it’s so easy to feel close to God. With God at the center, everything else falls second. While we had lots of fun ‘normal’ summer camp activities like rock climbing, white water rafting, and outdoor games, our main focus was growing closer to Christ. ![]() ![]() Maybe it was the 2000+ft elevation, or maybe the escape from ‘normal life’, but I’ve never felt closer to God than I have during each of my visits to Covecrest. While they did grumble and complain a bit about being separated from their phones, they were mostly grateful and relieved to have that break for the week. We took our teens’ phones for the week so they could fully immerse themselves in camp and not be distracted by anything else (which we also did every time I was a camper, and it was honestly such a nice break from social media/reality). I wasn’t bothered with wearing makeup, worrying about how I looked, or stressing about anything at all (shocking, right?!). In spending the week in the mountains of Georgia, my only concern was being my best self, in serving the teens and loving the Lord. I hope you enjoy this post!

I recently spent the week as a chaperone at my favorite Catholic summer camp, Covecrest, in Tiger, GA.
