so i was a counselor this week! WAHOO!!! I had mountaineers (3rd and 4th year campers). This made the week really smooth! they all wanted to be there, not homesick, not complaining! it was wonderful.
a few fun things we did:
slept in the barn
slept in the teepee
did the perch (climb a 30 ft tree, stand on a swiveling small circle platform, jump off and touch bell)
zipline
dutch oven cookout
started the FIRST fire of the season
hiked to Lake Mary in the rain, snow, mud, and dark
hiked to the saddle of Clayton's Peak
they picked camp names
it was a great week. I didn't expect to love the girls that quickly and that much. It's so true what they say-when you serve someone it helps you to love them. I was constantly trying to make a difference in their life. the hardest time I had was knowing that I only have ONE week. one week to make a difference, change a life, build up a testimony, teach how to love, teach how to serve, and to show them that we "are daughters of our Heavenly Father who loves us". I hope i made a difference.
so...
