I look forward to all the activities, seeing all my friends, and especially reconnecting with God. The reason I say \u201creconnecting\u201d with God is because throughout this last year, I basically ignored God. I rarely opened my Bible, never prayed, and all I cared about was my social life and friends. I went to a congregation as much as possible, but I never really paid attention and forgot everything I learned. However, this summer, when I came to camp, everything the tribe leaders taught hit me, and I really understood. I learned a lot about Jesus, and to follow God\u2019s path because He does have something planned no matter how shaky your future looks. Also, I learned that we should put aside all worldly values and try to live to please God. I\u2019m positive that this lesson will guide me through life and down God\u2019s path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chloe N., Age 15Tribe of Manasseh\u00a0 Every year, Camp Gilgal is always the highlight of my summer.
