Yes, and I believe you can enjoy yourself in the process! Teaching the next generation must be our desire because the Lord instructs us to raise up our children and our grandchildren in the faith. How can we accomplish this task? Creating Cousin Camp, How to Leave a Legacy of Faith to Your Grandchildren can be the tool you use to efficiently plan and successfully hold a Cousin Camp of your own. What is Cousin Camp? In 2000, my mother-in-law created Cousin Camp as an intentional time set apart for the spiritual training of her grandchildren and for building a team mentality in the family. You too can pass on godly character traits and create unbreakable bonds that last far beyond your time on this earth. While our goals may vary, we all want to be positive influences in the lives of our family members. Do you want to create something that will outlive yourself? Do you want to glorify God? Do you want the faith to continue in your family? You will find easy-to-follow plans in this book which will enable you to establish Cousin Camp this very summer. I have laid it all out for you. I will help you choose a theme to teach and give you plenty of activity and meal ideas to get you started right away! Follow along as we prepare for something beautiful. Your family will thank you for putting in the effort to become more present in their lives. It takes more than a few villages to raise a child these days. Be more than the name on the bottom of a birthday card. Commit to creating something great! Stacey Randall has enjoyed writing her entire life. She was inadvertently published in 2001 as her poem "Met in the Stairwell" went viral after the attacks on September 11th. Stacey is married to her high school sweetheart and has three children. Encouraging and equipping the next generation for service to the Lord is what drives her most. "Creating Cousin Camp, How to Leave a Legacy of Faith to Your Grandchildren" is a treasure chest. I do not have grandkids, yet, but this book makes me so excited for the day my grandkids arrive! While most people are not embracing the term grandparent, Stacey makes grandparenting a prize to be longing for. When my grandchildren are finally here, I will be using her comprehensive book as a guide to pass my (and my husband's) faith on to my grandkids. She has laid it all out in the book, leaving me no need to guess what to do. She has included ideas for crafts and fun time as well as discipleship materials and sample schedules. This is not a book I will read only once. It IS the guidebook I will be studying until the day my grandchildren are finally here, and we can have a Cousin Camp of our own!Amber Fox, Author, Speaker, Blogger, and Mama to seven awesome kiddos, allnaturaljoy.com I was inspired four years ago to hold my first Cousin Camp. I had no format or guide, but I did have five grandchildren living in four different states. We came together that first year with the desire to build unity and relationship among the cousins but also to impact their lives for Jesus Christ by modeling and teaching biblical principles in a fun way. I experienced success in some areas and colossal failure in others. I would have loved to have had a guide to walk me through the process, and this is precisely what Stacey has so beautifully put together in this book. She weaves her family's personal story along with the practical "how-to" of Cousin Camp. I highly recommend this resource to any grandparent who loves Jesus and their grandchildren!Linda Pyle, Grandmother and Camp Director
