CAMP!!!!

I think that I will just lay out our schedule for yall! So, on Monday, June 6, I left for camp. I was a 4th year. Every other year came on Tuesday but 4th years go on Monday because Monday is High Adventure. We had to be there at 9:00am. For our High Adventure this year, first we were put in different groups and there were different tasks/situations. And the groups rotated. You were given 15 minutes and your group had to figure out how to get out of the situation. Then at 2:00 the leaders got to camp. For High Adventure, we also, well, THEY also went repelling. Brother Hall came and brought his repelling stuff and helped them repel off a cliff that is at camp. I didn't do it though. I can't do heights. It is really sad, but even ladders scare the heck out of me! :) So that is what we did on Monday. TUESDAY: 9:00-we had registration. That is also when all the other levels arrived. 9:30-Welcome,prayer,intros,schedule. They introduced all the leaders and went over the schedule with us. 10:00-introduce theme.
