Camp Bighorn Day 37 7/26/2010

My Camp Bighorn Adventure continues. I woke up at 7:15 am. We all gathered in the lodge for staff devotions at 7:30 am. We went through the reading in our devotional books for the day. After devotions we gathered for announcements. Luke announced what jobs everyone would have for the camp that began later that day. Everyone is always very excited to find out what they will be doing during the week. After announcements I went back to my cabin to get ready for the day. When I was ready for the day I got the mail out and headed to the lodge for breakfast. It was nice to catch up with some people around the tables. After breakfast I came in to the office. I checked some things on the internet while I waited for the mail to arrive. I checked e-mail and facebook. When the mail arrived I sorted and distributed the mail. When I finished with the mail I came back to the office and sorted and organized pictures on my computer. I was mostly in the office until lunch time. I covered the phone. I checked some things on the internet. I talked with some people in the office. Then it was time for lunch. We all gathered in the lodge for some great food and fellowship. After lunch I came back to the office. I worked at my computer for a while. Jeremy showed me how to use the camp database. He showed my how to add people to the camp mailing list. I worked on that for a while. I enjoy doing things like that. I had some trouble reading the hand writing. I added a few names to the list and then I was done. I intended to finish the stack I still had to go though later. When I finished with the mailing list I left my little corner of the office and went out to the main office. I sat in the office and cooled off a bit. I talked with some people in the office. I covered the phones. I finished typing up my blog entries from a couple of days before. When I finished with my blog entries I hung around in the office until dinner. We all gathered in the lodge for dinner. Adventure camp 5 officially began at dinner. It was great to have a big group here for camp. Everyone was very excited for camp to begin. We all enjoyed great food and fellowship around the tables. After dinner I had a soda and some dessert. After dinner I walked around camp and talked with some people until chapel began at 8:30 pm. We all gathered for chapel. Everyone had a great time at chapel. They went over some of the camp rules. Then they played some games. Everyone had lots of fun. After chapel I came back to the office to shut down my computer for the night and call my parents. I called my parents using my phone cards. I asked them to call me back because I am running low on minute on my phone card. They called me back and we had a good talk. It sounds like things at home are going well. It is always good to talk with my parents. We talked until it was almost time for me to get to bed. When I got off the phone I headed to my cabin to get some sleep. When I got to my cabin at abut 11:15 people were still up talking. I was glad that people were still awake. It took a while for everyone to calm down and go to sleep. I went to sleep thinking about the adventures that were in store for us in the coming days. More on that later…
