2020 was Makayla's third year attending Black Hills Baptist Bible Camp and Michael's first. The camp is located 3.5 hours from us, in Wyoming. A total of 11 went from Baker, 8 campers and the others as a counsellor, jr. counsellor, and a camp nurse.

| Excitement was flying high! |
Their week is packed full with evangelist time, outdoor activities, choir, campfire services, and a dedicated time to Bible memory. They always come home exhausted but love every minute of it.I've got a jumble of pictures from several sources so they are out of order and some are terrible quality but here's a glimpse of their week.
