Camp Bighorn Day 4 6/23/2010

The next day of my Bighorn adventure began at 7:30 am with staff devotions. We went through today’s reading in our devotional books. After devotions I had some time before breakfast. I went back to my cabin and got cleaned up and ready for the day. Before breakfast I collected the outgoing mail and put it in the mail box. I went back to the lodge for breakfast. I don’t usually eat much breakfast at home, but here if you don’t eat in the morning you don’t eat at all until 2:00pm. After breakfast I came into the office and met up with Jeremy and Sarah. I uploaded some more pictures on the camp hard drive and then put them in an album on the camp facebook page. With a bit of prompting from Jeremy and Sarah I typed up a little write up about summer staff training to post on the Bighorn webpage. That was really fun. Both Sarah and Jeremy really liked what I wrote. I felt like I was contributing to something really important. Sarah and Jeremy are really nice. They are fun to work with. After I finished the write up for the webpage Jeremy got my computer hooked up to the camp printer. He was very proud of himself for figuring out how to accomplish that task. He did a little dance around the office. I updated my calendars and schedules for the summer and printed them out just to make sure my connection to the printer worked. Then Sarah and I went over to the camp store to restock some things. When we finished she told me I could take a break until after lunch. So I went back to my cabin and took a short nap. I got up in time for lunch. Lunch was fun. It is nice to reconnect with people and see what they have been up to all day. After lunch we came back to the office. Sarah and I talked about practicing answering phones. I was not quite ready to start that today. Answering phones and taking messages makes me nervous. I need to get over this and just try it. I am not there yet. This afternoon I went down to the ropes course and took some picture of the training that was happening there. I also got some pictures of the operations training that were going on at the same time. It was really fun wandering around camp taking somewhat random pictures of the things that are happening and some of the surroundings. Camp Bighorn is always really pretty. When I got back to the office after taking some pictures I had a good chat with Luke and Andrea Underhill. They are very cool people. They are the directors of Camp Bighorn. Andrea was working on a presentation for the 25^th Anniversary of Camp Bighorn. This celebration will be over Fourth of July weekend. It sounds really fun. After I talked with Luke and Andrea for a while I came back to my desk and wrote my blog entry for the day before. I want to try to update my blog everyday. We’ll see how far I get with it. People who have read it say they are enjoying it. When I finished my entry I wandered around camp for a while before dinner. I talked with some people and enjoyed some sunny weather. Then it was time for dinner. After dinner I helped get some things ready for day camp next week. I help cut out some waves for an ocean theme craft. It was fun. Several other people helped with drawing, tracing, and cutting things out. At around 9:00 pm I came back to my computer to type up my blog entry for today. Someone has asked to use my computer before lights out so I should rap this up. Camp is going very well. I am slowly but surly getting used to things around here. I am about ready for bed. I wonder what adventures are in store for tomorrow. More on that later…
