Registration Open for the Vancouver Sports Camp

Our church, the Bridge is hosting a sports camp in Vancouver for the 8th straight year. I’m pretty pumped about the camp. We just turned on the registration and have 4 kids signed up so far! This camp is a combination of a Soccer Camp and a Basketball Camp. In the morning we teach basketball to the younger crew of kids and teach soccer to the older crew. Then after lunch we rotate the sports. Our volunteers make the camp really special and it is always a great time! Below is the Video from last year.

First Taste of Summer at the Granville Island Water Park

Summer has arrived in Vancouver! The temperature got very close to 30 degrees this weekend. 30 celsius for those or you down south – is pretty warm. For me, Rodney, summer kicks off when I get to the beach to play some volleyball. For the kids summer means a trip to the water park. The park is right behind our house and this weekend was the opening weekend for the park. Here is a link to all our water park photos
