We have been at camp for over 2 weeks now and it's GREAT! I work in the office every day for 6-8 hours, depending whether it's a regular day (6 hrs) or the first or last day
with campers (8 hrs or more). Mitch works in the kitchen in the mornings, starting at 6 or 6:30, and then is done around 2 or 3, quite a long day! He also is playing the drums every day during club, which is when everyone sings fun songs, there are funny skits, and bible teaching. When we;re not working we get to help with the games and activities, which usually involve getting messy somehow....either sand, water balloons, shaving cream, water + flour, mud, & sometimes cut-open glow sticks.Arlene, my youngest sister, was a camper last week. We got to do the zip line, blob, and go swimming together. So that was pretty fun. We waited about 30 minutes to do the blob because someone was feeling nervous to jump off, but then when she finally went we were feeling pretty nervous to jump off! But we did, and it was awesome!
Tomorrow is our last week of Wyldlife (middle schoolers), then we have 2 sessions of Younglife (high schoolers), so that should be fun. We are all excited because YL camp has a different menu, which will be refreshing! I've had chicken strips, pizza, tater tots, & sloppy joes each at least 3 times in the last two weeks, we're ready for a change!
Mitch, Jenna, and I have really enjoyed meeting and working with all the great people here. The summer staff is great, we've celebrated two birthdays already, one involved a "Paul Bunyan" which is a large cast iron skillet FILLED with ice cream, cookies, candy, & toppings, about enough to feed 30 people easily! The other birthday involved a new Justin Bieber poster and enough watermelon for about 30 people.
It's been a great time so far, we love being here at Timber Wolf Lake! It brings back great memories from when I was a camper in 2002! BLACK BEAR! And it's really awesome to make new memories this summer!
Next up is CHINA! We're getting ready and looking forward to our next adventure this summer!
