Hundreds of trees, hundreds of trees everywhere. A rushing river and the serene sound of birds chirping. That’s what Camp Lutherhoma is. Every year, midsummer, I go to camp. It is the one week where I feel completely free of all worry and stress. Every counselor I have ever had at Camp Lutherhoma I have had an affinity for. I grow so close to my counselor and the other girls in my cabin. While others might see this place as just a camp I see it as a home, a safe place. Camp Lutherhoma is a place where I have met countless amazing people and many exemplary friends. Everything there makes me happy. Everything from the exuberant camp songs to the soothing campfires. The enduring feeling of peace I get when we pull into the gravel parking area is overwhelming and I love it. One year at Camp Lutherhoma I had the blessing of having an amazing counselor by the name of Rando. One day my cabin was having a bible study. Rando said to us “I want to play a song for you guys”. The song was called “Deathbed” by Relient K. Rando pulled out her black wireless speaker from her full backpack and turned the song on. It started off slow with a soothing tune. When the man started to sing, the first line that flowed from the speakers was “This is my deathbed. I lie here alone. If I close my eyes tonight. I know I’ll …show more content…
Things such as the kindness of others, the power of God, and how to let my worries slip away from me. The song “Deathbed” has also shown me an abundant amount of things. Too many to list.Camp Lutherhoma makes me feel like I have a reason. It has shown me how to overcome all my troubles and just let go. There is no need to be stressed about the stupid little things such as a bad test grade or who you are taking to Fall Ball. You’re going to be okay. Everything will turn out great and fall into place. Camp Lutherhoma had taught me these important things. I couldn’t be happier with how Camp Lutherhoma has changed me for the

"I will not do what others and the media tell me to do. I will do what pleases God instead" This was not an easy task at all, it took a whole lot of thought provoking experiences for the campers to transform themselves, even if it was just for the one week. We had some very emotional nights at times after chapel, but that was a big reason why the campers didn 't want to leave on the last day. They had built such a strong bond with us CILTs and counselors that they couldn 't stop talking about us on their long drives back
Week after week, I continued to grin and bare it until finally, I reached my last week. As I finally sat down at my last meeting of my last day, I listened to our boss talk about all the positive feedback the camp was getting from both parents and campers. The majority of the girls who came had had the time of their lives. In the end, that was just what made all our suffering worthwhile. I sat and looked around at all the familiar faces I had come to know so well in so little time.
March of 1933 something happened that would change the lives of millions forever. In ¨Dachau¨ the first concentration camp was opened (¨United States Holocaust Memorial Museum¨). This would be the first of thousands more to come, all with the intention of either forced labor or mass murder, often both (¨The Holocaust¨).

In the study of history, events leading to tragic are being taught to avoid future mistakes, as well as to prevent recurring flaws. Many times, certain situations occurred in the past are meant to teach us a valuable lessons. For instance, one of the examples is the Japanese Internment Camp, also known and called the “Relocation Camp” during World War II. America entered World War II, when a sudden attack was made by Japan in the Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941. In just a 24 hour period, it was reported that 1,291 ordinary Japanese-American leaders from different communities were detained by the F.B.I. without any charges.
Gravel or concrete campsites, picnic tables, firepits, and electricity boxes are in each campsite. Shower houses and bathrooms are very clean and heated during colder weather. The air is crisp, fresh, and clean smelling, there are dangerous heights and splendid waterfalls that you can climb if you’re brave enough! Even though you are really not allowed to.
In 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. was sent to jail because of a peaceful protest, protesting treatments of blacks in Birmingham. Before the protest a court ordered that protests couldn’t be held in Birmingham. While being held in Birmingham, King wrote what came to be known as the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” Not even King himself could predict how much of an impact this letter would have on the Civil Rights Movement. In the letter kind defended Kings beliefs on Nonviolent Protests, King also counters the accusations of him breaking laws by categorizing segregation laws into just and unjust laws. King uses this principle to help persuade others to join him in his acts of civil disobedience.

The Path Set Before Me Looking at the junior highers quietly sitting around me, reading the bible passage, I feel a swell of contentment. The feeling of God working through me as I lead my group of campers through a week of fun and learning is something I will never forget. My time working at Wood Lake Bible Camp may have been the first time I realized that I could spend my life working with youth. God has since given me more opportunities to discover the path he has set before me through mission trips, english camps, and my experiences as a missionary kid.
