Christian Internship – Campers, My Favorite Part of Camp
By CBM National intern, Joseph Kirkland -
Some kids are clean, some are messy; some are the most well behaved children you’ve ever seen, and then there are those that are not. They come in all sorts of sizes, backgrounds, ideologies and experiences. They are people and want to feel that way. And every once in a while they come to camp.

CBM Intern – Two Things That Everyone Has to Deal With

The earth is 24,901 miles around at its widest point, and it would take around 33 hours to get around it at the speed of sound.
