The beginning of February we received a group of five Peruvians involved in a camp which belongs to a partner ministry of ours called Inca Link. Through our outdoor leadership program called "Aire Libre" we set out to train and teach them about all aspects involved in running a camp. During the four weeks they were here they received classes in everything from camp administration, group dynamics, property management, climbing, outdoor leadership and experiential education. When their time here at El Refugio was completed, each member on our staff could see how these five people grew together as a team. Now that they have returned to Peru they will be working together at camp in Trujillo, Peru. Howard and I are always amazed at how quickly people move in and out of our lives. Even though it was four short weeks, we came to enjoy and appreciate these five people. We shared meals, movie nights and even four on the couch, which you might be surprised to learn, there was cheating in both English and Spanish!
