Junior Highers Unite!

Greetings all my devoted blog readers! I am sososo glad that last week is done and that it’s a new start to the summer. We had an extra day off because the camps switched from Sat-Fri to Sun-Sat. Friday night I travelled into Victoria with Liz, Leila and Cassy. We hit up the inner harbour, went to Boston Pizza, got some necessities at Walmart, and drove with the roof off my jeep (probably the best part). Saturday was a staff development day with a number of sessions, beach time, and a chapel service in the evening. It would have been a lot better to just rest but it was good to hang out. Lonnie slept over in my cabin and we talked late. Sunday was amazing. I got up early and went running with Doug which I hadn’t done since staff training 4 weeks ago. We stopped at a coffee shop on the way back for breakfast and got to talk for 2 hours. It was awesome to catch up. I then went to Starbucks with Lonnie on our way to church in Duncan. Church was really good and then we went out for our usual lunch before the next camp.

My cabin this week is full of campers that have been here before many years, are almost all Christians, and are stoked for the week. Please pray for me to come up with new and exciting things that we can do that can make this camp even better than last year. Also pray that the Holy Spirit will work in me giving me the words to say that will challenge them yet feed them so that they may grow as Christians. It’s been good so far and tonight we are sleeping in the climbing tower, so that should be fun.

I am really enjoying camp so far. I still can’t believe that I am here sometimes. I have 3 days off in August and I am planning on going to a BC Lions game with Lonnie and maybe our dads. It would be super sweet. We have things planned for this weekend already too as we never have that much time to decide when the campers are gone. We are going to the Sooke Potholes on Saturday to go swimming and then to Red Robins in Victoria. Then on Sunday we are heading to Cowichan Bay to hit up some of the sweet little shops that are there and have an early lunch before Doug has to work at 12.
The weather has been gorgeous and so I am getting quite dark. I am pumped too because this week I am working in the challenge course doing climbing tower and harnesses for the zipline rather than lifeguarding. I am glad that they switched it up a bit and would allow me to experience something else. Thanks to my avid readers. Later days!
