Last weekend was Camp and it was SO much fun. We took 35 10-16 year olds from all 3 centers to Trinity Pines Camp. The theme was Souled out and we got awesome t-shirts which were designed by one of the kids at Fletcher.
We left friday morning on a school bus and arrived in the afternoon. Straight away, we got to have an adventure and climb the ropes course and rock wall. It was super hot, but at the end there was a zip line which gave you a great breeze. There was an easy and difficult rock wall. Some of our summer missionaries were very persistent and gave the difficult side seven tries. They finally made it up. Then a few skillful ten year olds impressed us by going up the harder side as well. Most of us got very emotionally involved in the climbers' endeavors.
The kids got to attend four small group sessions throughout the weekend. We also had full group worship with Sandra's band...Aviator Love, and our preacher Larry was a local youth pastor. The band was fun and sang in Spanish some. Larry spoke on the sermon on the mount. He talked about the good and bad fruit, the wide and narrow gates, and the firm or sandy foundations.
We played some awesome group games on Saturday. They were human foosball with a balloon, shuffle your buns, and never have I ever.
We got to spend a long time in the pool between night swimming on Friday and Saturday afternoon free time. There was also a blob and canoeing.
One highlight was the Saturday night variety show, in which the counselors got to do skits for the teens. Jasmine and I choreographed a lively dance that we taught to seven of the other missionaries.
After worship and group sessions on Sunday morning, we headed home. We each received a happy meal for the bus ride.
We were exhausted on Sunday afternoon, but I completely enjoyed getting to know more of the teens and spend time with them at camp.
