Camp Bighorn Day 23 7/12/2010

My day began with devotions at 7:30 am. We all gathered in the lodge to go through the devotional reading for the day. After devotions Luke announced what everyone’s jobs would be for this week at camp. After announcements I went back to my cabin to get cleaned up and ready for the day. When I was ready for the day I got the mail out and then headed to the lodge for breakfast. After I ate I came into the office and waited for the administration team meeting. We met around 10:00 am to go over our jobs for the week. I will mostly be taking care of getting pictures and organizing and posting them on facebook and the camp website. I will also be answering phones, taking care of the mail, and helping with the camp store. My job description does not change much from week to week. It’s fun to be involved with some different things around camp. After our meeting I sorted and distributed the mail. Then I came back to my computer to work on organizing pictures. I got all the pictures on my computer organized and sorted into folders. For most of the day I sorted pictures and posted some of them on my facebook page. I worked on the pictures until lunchtime. We all gathered in the lodge to get some food. After lunch I came back to the office and worked on pictures for a while. Then Sarah and I went to the camp store to restock some things. It’s fun to help in the camp store. Sarah showed me how to use the store tabs for the people who have them. When we finished in the store I came back to the office for a little bit. I went to my cabin to take a nap around 4:00 pm. It was nice to get some extra rest. I woke up at about 5:45 pm. I came into the office until dinner. I finished putting all the pictures I was working with on the camp hard drive. Then it was time for dinner. We have three groups coming to camp this week. All of these groups arrived in time for dinner on Monday night. We have two camps going on this week and a work group here for the week. The lodge was full of people for dinner. It was great to see so many new faces here at camp. After dinner I got a soda and came back to the office and typed up a blog entry for a previous day. When I finished my blog I went back to the lodge to see what was going on there. The Junior High group was having chapel upstairs in the lodge so I joined them. It was fun to observe a new group of campers. The whole group was really excited to be here. They have never been to Bighorn before. They played some games and then talked about some of the goals they had for themselves while they are here at camp. It was great to hear most of the people who commented said their goal for the week was to get closer to God. After chapel I went to my cabin to get ready for bed. It was cold and windy all day and so I wanted to bundle up in some warmer clothes. When I was ready for bed I came back into the office and typed up my blog entry for the day before. I also checked some things on the internet. When I finished typing my blog I headed to my cabin to get some sleep. Before I went to sleep I talked with some of the girls in my cabin. We had a nice talk. I went to sleep thinking about what was in store for all of us the next day. More on that later…
