Camp Bighorn Day 14 7/3/2010
The next day of my Bighorn adventure began at 7:30 am with staff devotions. After devotions I headed back to my cabin to get cleaned up and ready for the day. I got the mail out before breakfast. We all gathered in the lodge for breakfast. It was a good time of talking with people and catching up what has been going on with them. After breakfast I came into the office. I wrote up my blog from the day before. I got the mail sorted and distributed. It was a quiet day in the office. The 25th Anniversary Celebration for Camp Bighorn officially started. People were here to help celebrate this wonderful occasion. It was a fun day for everyone here. It was nice to just wander around and watch people. People were sitting around talking and playing games like soccer and Frisbee. Later that morning Jeremy asked me to restock some things in the store. I refilled the fridge with sodas. I broke down the cardboard containers and recycled them. I talked with a former summer staff person. His name is Levi. He was really nice and friendly. After we talked for a while I came back to the office to return the keys to the store. I walked around camp for a while doing some more people watching. Then it was time for lunch. We all gathered in the lodge to have something to eat. The store was open after lunch. I got a nice cold coca cola, some candy, and a water bottle. I went back to the lodge to drink my soda and eat my candy. I talked with some people for a while. We had a nice talk. One of them asked me if I would take a picture of their little group. I said I could do that, just let me know when you want me to take the picture. I finished my soda while they took care of some things. The one who asked me to take pictures, her name is Cindy. She asked me if I wanted to play carpet ball. I said I would like to play carpet ball with her. We played several games and just had a good time talking and catching up with each other while we played. When we finished playing I went to my cabin to take a rest. I got up in time for dinner. We gathered in the lodge for some food. The store was open again after dinner. I went to the store to get another cold soda. It tasted great. At around 8:00 pm people gathered in the lodge for an open mike time. People shared memories and stories about Camp Bighorn. It was fun to hear everyone’s stories and memories. Some of the stories were very entertaining and funny. It was fun to hear people talk about the early days of Camp Bighorn. After the sharing time my Dad called to get me the message he wanted me to share in the open mike time the next day. We had a good talk. It was good to talk with him for a while. When I got off the phone I went back to the lodge and caught up with Jessica. We had a good talk. It was nice to catch up with her for a while. Jessica is a friend I can talk to about anything. She is an amazing person. After we talked for a while I went back to the office to drop off my camera. I was headed to bed. However, I talked to Andrea Underhill for a while before that. We had a great talk. It was nice to talk with her and Luke for a while. We talked for awhile about some of the struggles I have been having with finding my place around camp. They listened and helped me to think through some things. They are very nice and understanding. After we talked I headed back to my cabin. It was after midnight when I got to bed. I went to sleep wondering what adventures were in store for us in the days a head. More on that later…
