Tim spent a week in the middle of July at Camp Patmos as camp counselor, trip leader, and network administrator all at the same time. He was taking part in a trip for Junior Highers at our church called "SERVE" while also working remotely for his employer.
He sent me an email entitled "A View from My Office" mid-way throught the week with the above picture attached. While the kids were off doing some of the usual camp activities, Tim was able to log on and "go to work" for several hours each day.
We had 3 teens from our church attend the trip. They spent part of the time as campers and part of their time doing service projects for both the camp and the community of Kelley's Island. Here they are washing some camp vehicles. 
... and Tim too, apparently!
Tim came home with great stories of some good 'ole camp fun! This was an activity that they called, "the tunnel of terror." The kids had to crawl through while getting sprayed, sprinkled, and pummeled with large beach balls.
Another service project ... shoveling shells off of the beach to make "sandbags" for use as barriers.
One of Tim's campers had an amazing way of solving the Rubik's Cube. He did a demonstration on "talent show" night near the end of the week. He had two volunteers from the audience mix it up; he then solved it with amazing speed. He also solved it behind his back!
Tim came home with so many great stories from his week at camp that he talked almost the entire 5 hour trip north (on our way to family vacation) the next day! I'm so glad he had a wonderful week serving the Lord and the community with the kids!!
