Sample of script:

Scene opens as all actors are sitting around the campfire.)

Dean: Well, I don’t know. Sometimes I think we really don’t get through to these kids at all.

Shawn: I know what you mean! Here I am, a counselor at a kid’s camp for the summer. I thought for sure I was going on that missions trip to Europe this year!

Melissa: I really didn’t think I would be dealing with kids with poison ivy for the next six weeks. I was hoping I could really do something that would reach these kids for Christ. I want to let them know how much God loves them!

Cory: I take it you guys haven’t been having the greatest experiences with these kids?

Shawn: No, not really. OK, example—I spent all day yesterday trying to talk a kid down from a tree. He wanted to try that big swing into the lake but got freaked out once he reached the top. How am I supposed to witness to these kids if I am dealing with things like that?

Dean: Yeah! This morning I had little Robbie Nelson ask me to walk him to the Tuck Shop to get an ice cream cone. I guess he was worried he would get lost on his own or something.

Cory: And you, Melissa, haven’t been enjoying all these itchy kids?

Melissa: Every kid that comes into the infirmary gets a lesson on what leaves are safe to touch and what leaves are not safe to touch. You would think they would pass the message around and tell their friends!

Shawn: I guess I am just frustrated, that’s all. I was just hoping God had bigger plans for me. I wanted to go out into a huge area where I would have the opportunity of witnessing to hundreds of people every day!

Dean: I never thought I would be stuck in a summer camp with 30 ten-year-olds.
