The week of camp starts slowly, Saturday we are getting acquainted with our surroundings and feeling things out, Sunday we start to get in the groove and explore the camp, then things hit warp speed and it's impossible to slow them down. I am reminded of the conversation my wife Jes and I had after our wedding, we were so in awe by how quickly everything happened and felt that we hadn't even begun to say hello to people and live that day. Camp is a lot like that, surrounded by people we love, always having conversations that matter, and of course filled with song, dance, and food!
Last night we had an amazing dance, outside on the tennis courts for the first time. It went perfectly, and the forecasted rain held off completely so we were able to put together a great camp fire and follow that up with a post-dance first, pizza for the whole senior high in the dining hall. They had the chance to talk and eat, share their dance experience and move to their own schedule for a change. We of course like to try new things each year and see how they work out, we'll check on the feedback we have from campers. (and don't fear- the Junior High had the extra pizzas delivered to their cabins so they got to enjoy as well!)
We have a busy busy day today, Morning Group is full of strength bombardment and that leads right into a picnic style lunch then the hug line, graduation, dinner, and our closing consecration service. We have 6 wonderful senior speakers who will be talking tonight, they are charged with delivering a message to the other campers, one of their own choosing, but a message that will resonate and guide our younger campers.
I hope to blog again later tonight, for those of you planning a pick up tomorrow at Braintree High School we are still on target for 2PM.
