I just returned from volunteering a week as a counselor up at Grace Youth camp up at Mount Palomar (close to San Diego). Awesome!      

     Since this was my fourth summer as a counselor I decided to try something different during the afternoon free time: I took along a portable drawing board, pens and colored pencils. I started sketching out recognizable cartoon characters, and a few of the more iconic super heroes. I never attracted a mob but enjoyed a continual string of conversations with both kids and adults.  Next day I used a game cart and cardboard to assemble a display of some of the work from CCAS, as well as a the CCAS website in large print and the encouragement "Check out the these great christian artists."  I had written in the name of the artist and site below each picture so kids could write them down, and got a lot more interest.   I would definitely try this out at the next youth event I attend.
