We arrived Sunday morning with just enough time to shower and get ready for service. Brother Paul Lafontaine spoke that morning and it was really great; God had already begun moving.
After service there was lunch and meeting up with old friends and making new ones. I got situated in my dorm and met my counselor and my “roomies”. My counselor for this year was Sister Tanya. She was wonderful! She had so many neat devotion ideas and really was someone you could go and talk to.
My roomies were: Sarah, Saron, Hannah, Jemmia and “Blondie”.
(Sorry… no picture) They were a lot of fun and we really had some great times.
Then I went and walked around “looking cool” (it was in the 90˚s) and talking with my friends.
That evening we had supper and then migrated into the tabernacle for the evening service. Bro. Darrel taught that evening and he did a great job! I really, really enjoyed it.
After that it was the mad dash to the Snack Shack… and then the night guards chased us into our dorms where we got ready for bed and had our devotions. Ahhh sleep! The first day was ended :)
I won’t go into a “detailed day by day”, but I will give you a short account of what was the “usual” day.
Meals were served 3 times a day and there were 2 services a day.
After Sunday we are split up into groups and the 13 and younger go to the Children’s Church, the 14 and older to the Tabernacle and the 18 and up (for morning services) go to a different location.
In between services volleyball, basketball, baseball, games are played. The Snack Shack is open certain hours during the day and after the evening service. The Choir gathers at about 3:45pm and sings every night. During the week other different activities are secluded like the hair clinic, skits.
Camp in short was awesome! I had a blast and am hoping to go again next year.
