This year the camps were proceeded by a wonderful leadership semi- nar for college age and older high school age kids to prepare them for their responsibilities in the upcoming workshops. This was particularly powerful as the staff then felt much more prepared and united. I am sure that this is why such a wonderful atmosphere was created which lasted throughout. This year we made a deter- mined effort to allow, promote and support our 2nd Generation to take more responsibility. Kenrit- su Yamamoto, Youth Minister of bay Area Family Church was appointed as camp director. His assistants were Tadakimi (Youth Minister for LA Family Church) and Mitsy.
