Briefing up camp

Camp,

Well admist all that has been happening I forgot to share some camp stuff. Alright so here it goes. The camp go to is called Camp Ivydale and its near Boise. So my Youth Group has to go drive for about 6-8 hours depending on how many "Potty Stops" we have to make. When someone has to go we atarted saying Bono ( Bon-yo) on the top of our lungs, but only for awhile it was very short lived. I decided to trek it up to camp n the church van with Cody as the driver Me, Megan, My friend Ashley from school that I brought along, Jessa, Zac, Christopher, Jamie, Dalton, and Jamies friend Eric. So we were all very cozy. When we got to camp, to tell you the truth it didn't feel like camp, I dunno it didn't have that feel, it felt like something was missing, but I didn't know what, So I went to get our cabin assignments and Hurray I was in Cabin 4. Now cabin four is like the camps Hilton Hotel- It has Bunks not prison beds and is square not A frame. Not a whole ot of a difference but hey to a summer camp its a big difference. And my Counselors were Amy and Elizabeth. Now I knew Amy from lat year and she was way cool, and Elizabeth was new but I loved her too.

Now this year camp had some changes and I didn't like some of them here they are-

For small groups or "Meadow Moments" we usually combine it with boys and girls from all the different cabins, so we aren't with the same people ALL the time. But nope not this year, we were with the girls in our cabins- yeah not cool. But sense cabin four has like 23 girls in it we split it in half. But still, I didn't like this whole thing. In my group we had this girl who sways back and forth all the time- it drives me crazy. Ahhh. And whenever someone would ask a question she always ALWAYS answered first. And she gave the average answers- the ones every body gives. But at least she answered. I applaud her for that. Oh yeah and we were studying 1st timothy ( More on that later, oh LOTS more)

Second of all- No skits after night lesson. We ALWAYS have skits after lesson ALWAYS. And my cabin came up with some great Ideas for skits, But his year they decided not to do them, and I love skits. So it didn't feel the same. But we did have skits the first night and they were like so stupid. Cain one and Cabin tent did them, and they really sucked. I am not kidding they stunk.

Ok enough with changed lets get on to soemf un stuff

We always give out awards on the last night after the talent show. The talent show was great and a girl in my cabin named Tiffany sung acapella from a song in Phantom of the Opera and man she is good. I guess there is a reason why she is going to go to Music Collegde. She hopes to be on Broadway one of these days and I have no doubt that she will make it.

Awards are given to the people who best represent the awards that we always give out every year ( duh) ok so this year the Newbie award went to Jessica Wilson from my church and it was cool. And another girl from my church Jamie got the Paul-timothy award, for the person who has been the most mentoring. And I got the Spirit Award! Its for the person with the most camp Spirit obviously! And the big Kahuna of all awards is given to the person who represents all the awards and my god friend Kate Conder ( the girl I was Counselors with at pre teen) got it for the girls. I knew she was going to get it. But for the boys ( Ok I have a funny story) sorry its too good I have to tell it- Haley this counselor at camp is a major skank- she dresses very immondesly and is ALL about the boys- she gave aout dating advice to the 7th graders and found a camper to be her boyfriend- ,mind you she is a counselor. And she came up to the microphone and she was giving out the boy award she came to the from and said "now I have the boy" and then I said "As always!" now I dint mean to say it as loud as I did, but it gave people some good laughs.

But I have to say the Kingdom Walk was Awesome this year. The Kingdom Walk is what we do on the last night of camp, and we did the stations thingy like we did at the Easter retreat. And this time it was we went around with groups of ten and we wrote in our books and we would say a prayer about the thing at the station. It was AWESOME. Everyone loved it and once again it made a lot of people cry. We all enjoyed it.

Well I have many more camp stories to tell you, but I am not able to tell them all right now, heres something to look forward to- the car ride chats, ah those are very awesome not average awesome.

Well I also have some Alaska posts that I have to do but I have to do those later.

Peace
