Stepping Stones - Camp ALLYN

CampAllyn Info
Dear readers:
Crew #9[with Drew] #10[with Liz]
My name is Jacob and during the mission trip (Week of Hope) my job was working at a special disabilities camp. Today I was working one on one with a kid, I cannot say his name because of a policy I signed. He and I were walking around the trails of the camp kicking a soccer ball. I was out there with him for about 30 minutes. During this he improved greatly he started by kicking the ball short and into the woods. By the end of the day he was kicking the ball long and strait down the trail. However this is not what impressed me the most, at the beginning of the day he was a timid kid by the end he was talking and had a smile on his face. This was very cool to watch and work with a kid and see how much potential he had if he had support behind him.

Dear readers:
My name is Clay and I have worked at Stepping Stones during the week of hope.  The kids are really amazing and fun to be around.   Before I thought things would be a lot different but I was wrong.    
The kids are just really energetic and they love to play games.  They are also really fun to be around and they make the day go by much more quickly.  Some of them are shy and others love to run and some of them seem really normal.  You can always find something that both you and them will enjoy no matter what they are like.  Throughout my time volunteering there I have grown to enjoy them and I am glad that I was able to work with them.
