We wanted to give a recap of the week camp...SWO (Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters) started in 1997 by a couple, Steve and Billie Faye Coleman. Steve was a youth pastor for years under Johnny Hunt in Woodstock, Georgia. Steve wanted a place (camp) for students to go, to get away from the "world" and be challenged in their Faith through a variety of ways while at camp! SWO does an awesome job of pushing students out of their comfort zone and challenging them in their daily walk with Christ! Everyone who went to camp (adults included) came back changed and we are excited already to see the changes in our students at Stony Hill and look forward to seeing the impact they will have on their communities and at their schools! If you see a student, ask them what God taught them at camp!

SWO Day 6
This picture and poem wrapped up the week at camp...
this week God taught me how to live and to love,
of his grace and mercy in heaven above.
our God is more faithful than we could ever wish to be
he opened my eyes and heart for me to see.
i learned the difference between punishment and disipline,
that God does what he does, since he wants us to be with him.
im never alone with him in my heart,
even though im a sinner who sometimes departs.
when we go home, from temtation i must run
ive put up with satan too long, and i want to be done.
i picked up a severe passion for the Lord,
with his works in my thoughts and his word as my sword.
hes opening me up to others around me,
and helping me stand out in the crowd surrounding me.
when we go back i want to be different
change my actions, ways of thinking, and influnces i hang out with.
when people look at me i want them to ask:
why is she different? she doesnt wear a mask.
i feel the responsibility to be a Godly example for others,
and to protect the minds and hearts of my brothers.
Jesus Christ is the one i want to pursue,
this week, what has he taught you?
