“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!"
The North Men had a camping trip that left us all refreshed and inspired. We enjoyed the beauty of God’s creation out on Camano Island, which is set along the Puget Sound.
Even though it was only an ‘overnight’ trip, it felt like an eternity of fellowship, fun and food….Oh, and fire! We did a little jump and dancing through the camp fire which added some adventure to our time. I was glad no one caught on fire. The weekend started on Friday night. We ate dinner together and sat around the fire telling stories of faith and sharing our past, present situations and some of our future goals. On Saturday morning, we ate breakfast together and went out in small groups to pray together. It was great to hear the prayers of my brothers and to be out along the Puget Sound hearing the waves and seeing the birds fly by.
We enjoyed a rock skipping contest and “baserock” another name for baseball. It was a blast. All the men were not able to make it, but we are planning on having a North Men’s camping three times a year so there will be other opportunities for those who could not be there this time.
It is good for brothers to live together in unity, because when we do, we are refreshed and inspired by God and one another.

Darin,
Camano Island is my favorite camping getaway. I'm happy to hear that you had such a great time with the brothers. I know I have had many great spiritual (and solo) retreats there.
