Camp Bighorn Day 3 6/22/2010

My next day at Camp Bighorn began with active devotions at 7:30am. Everyone gathered in the lodge then we went out to the field to get some exercise. We ran or walked laps around the field. When the whistle blew we met our family groups at one of the cones set up in the middle of the field. In our groups we did exercises like push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, and the last thing we did was stretching. We ran or walked laps between exercises. I was only able to run one lap because I was not dressed properly for running. I walked the laps and did the exercises the best I could. Everyone did what they could at their own pace. It was cool to see everyone working together and encouraging each other. After we exercised we all came back into the lodge for personal devotions. We went through the next day in the book I mentioned before. After devotions I went back to my cabin and took a nap before breakfast because I was not feeling well. I got up in time for breakfast at 9:15 am. We had a great breakfast of pancakes, fruit, and sausage. It’s one of my favorite camp breakfasts. After breakfast I came into the office to sort through and deliver the mail. I am still waiting to get some mail. Sorting the mail is fun. I like seeing who gets what. I still learning where all the mail is supposed to go. I hope I will have that figured out soon. Later that morning Jeremy and I reviewed my job description and responsibilities. We reviewed some information about different cameras that are available for use at camp. Before lunch Jeremy and I went out and took some picture of some of the staff training. I took some pictures of the climbing training. It’s fun to just wander around and observe life at camp and take some good pictures in the process. After I finished taking pictures I dropped my camera off in the office and went to my cabin for a nap before lunch. I woke up again in time for lunch. It was a good time of catching up on what everyone did in the morning in the training they had. After lunch I came back to the office and uploaded the pictures we took earlier onto the camp hard drive and then into an album on Bighorn’s facebook page. Throughout the day I talked with some people around camp. Everyone here is very nice and welcoming to me. Jeremy showed me how to update the camp website. He asked me to look at the website and let him know if anything needed to be changed or fixed. I mentioned that the last camp for the summer was not on the schedule. He fixed that on the site so now the information is correct. Jeremy, Sarah, and I talked about how to answer the phones and what to say when I answer the phone here. I have not answered the phones yet. I am trying to work up the courage to do this. Before dinner I uploaded and organized more pictures and posted them on facebook. I chatted with some friends on facebook. At dinner I reconnected with some of the summer staff people. It was fun hearing about what they had been doing all day. After dinner I had the candy I bought the day before and a coco-cola from my truck. I had a good talk with some of the summer staff people. It is nice to know that there are people here I can talk to when and if I need to. After we talked awhile I came back to the office and wrote my next blog entry. I headed back to my cabin just before lights out. I went to sleep thinking about what adventures we would have the next day. More on that later…
