Early Saturday morning, we got up and ate breakfast. When I got up to get some more food, Megan walked in front of me. I stared at her! I asked her, “are you really Megan?” I thought Daddy was coming to get me, but they surprised me by bringing everybody.
The first day at camp was rainy. We had chapel. I think this year’s chapel was very creative because the pastor was teaching us how to be super heroes instead of villains. His sons and daughters were pretending to be the different people. The oldest one was Captain Kindness, the oldest daughter was Miss Meanie. The youngest son was Doofus Boy who obeyed Miss Meanie. The little girl was Little Nurse. When Captain Kindness ate the sin pill that Miss Meanie put in the zebra cake, he looked at his dad, the pastor, and said “can I leave now? I don’t feel like being nice today.” The whole week they were talking about cure for eating the sin pill.
When we came into the chapel, Doofus Boy was passing out the sin pill. We ate them and then they told us what they were. The pastor wouldn’t let us get the pill to make us like God again! We could eat the pills the nurse made to make us holy again. We learned that you really have to ask Jesus into your heart 🙂 .
For skit night, one of the skits had two people holding up a blanket. Then someone would toss a little object in to make it bigger. Like once someone had a little elastic that he through in saying “I want to make it bigger.” He threw in the elastic and out came a hula hoop! Then somebody came with her baby, and said “my poor baby, I keep dropping it.” Then she trips over a rock and it goes over the blanket. Out came a guy with a “diaper (a pair of pants) on.
I did not pass my swim test, but I able to go to the deep end if I had my councilor with me. I went off the high dive! I went canoing, paddle boarding. I went on the splash boats.
We played a game were the counselors would be in different spots with “weapons”. One was a pool noodle, a spongie, and squirt gun. Our job was to go as a cabin and get the things the counselors were guarding. I almost got one, but I got another one, if I had been just a little slower, I would not have made it.
Another game was like that one, but the counselors where disguising themselves or hiding. You tried to find them and if you did you got a little tag. A green tag meant you where the first person to find her. A copper one meant you would not get as much points as a green one. One of the counselors was hanging out with the teens. He had a green coat and a sleeping bag and a hat over his face. When I asked the teens if he had seen any junior counselors they said, maybe. I asked the guy if he was a counselor and everyone said “sh, he is trying to sleep.” But I knew he was a counselor because I saw his face, and I got a green tag. There is a golf course there, and a church you try to get your golf balls under it. My friend Casteel saw some camouflage pants and looked under the church and someone was hiding there so we got another green tag. The rest of them were copper tags.
I had so much fun at camp that I will have to tell you more later!
