It’s been hot, and so everything seems to be moving at a slower space. But experts say the best time to get outside these days is at night – just when your kids are coming home from camp. A new study, this week, found that kids who watch more TV than average also have larger waist size, so that’s another reason to turn off the tube and play some games or go for a swim with them. (Or perhaps encourage the kids to organize a game after church among themselves.) Many of our youth are enjoying the gift of summer week-long camp at our Eastern Synod Camps: Edgewood, Lutherlyn, and Mush.  Recently, I spent some time with staff from Edgewood and Mush and learned about some of the exciting and meaningful activities our youth are experiencing this year.  There is not much lying around happening at our Eastern Synod camps.  In the end, those are the summer memories our youth will remember. To say nothing of the positive mental benefits of exercise. Here’s the research if you would like to check it out.
