Camp Bighorn Day 45 8/3/2010

My Camp Bighorn adventure continues. I woke up at 7:00 am. We all gathered in the lodge for active devotions at 7:15 am. We went through the reading for the day in our devotional books. The reading for the day was called “David and Goliath.” The main scripture reading for the day was 1 Samuel 17. The reading talked about how the story of David and Goliath relates to our lives today. When we finished our devotions we headed out to the field to get some exercise. I walked out to the field with the group. When they started the activity I walked back to the lodge because I was not feeling very well. I have been fighting a cold for the last few days. I waited in the lodge for everyone to come back. When everyone was done with active devotions we all gathered in the lodge for announcements. After announcements I went back to my cabin to rest until breakfast. It was nice to get some extra rest. I got up and got ready for the day before heading to the lodge to get some food. We had pancakes for breakfast. They were great. After breakfast I got the mail out to the box. Then I headed back to the office for the administration team meeting at 9:30 am. In our meeting we talked about the events of the day and what everyone would be doing. After our meeting I got the mail sorted and distributed. I headed out to take pictures of the events going on around camp. I took pictures at the kiddy climbing and zip line area and at the archery and riflery ranges. It was fun to see the campers enjoying these events. I came back to the office for a while before heading down to the ropes course to take more pictures. I got lots of great pictures of the campers experiencing the adventures of Camp Bighorn. When I finished at the ropes course I came back to the office for a little while. Then it was time for lunch. We all gathered in the lodge for some food and fellowship around the tables. It was fun to hear about what people had been up to all morning. The store was open after lunch. The campers were excited about the possibility of stocking up on candy. I headed to the store to see how things were going. I talked with Garrett about the plan for the afternoon. We agreed that the rest of the administration team could cover taking pictures of the afternoon events. I headed to my cabin to take a nap. I was still not feeling very well. It was nice to get some extra rest. I slept from 2:15 pm until 4:45 pm. When I woke up I headed back to the office to see what was happening there. I wanted to go swimming but I was not feeling well so I decided to go a different day. I was in the office until dinner. We all gathered in the lodge to get something to eat. It was fun to catch up with some people and hear about what they had been doing all afternoon. After dinner the campers all gathered for chapel at 7:00 pm. The campers enjoyed the music and the story at chapel. The story for the week is about the life of David. After chapel I came back to the office and worked on my computer. I typed up a blog entry for the camp website. I talked with some people in the office. I listened to music on my IPod. I typed up my blog entry for the day before. When I finished typing and posting my blog entry I shut down my computer and was headed for bed. My mom called at around 10:30 pm. I talked to her for a few minutes. When I got off the phone I headed to my cabin to get some sleep. I talked with the girls in my cabin for a while. Then I went to sleep. I fell asleep thinking about the adventures that are in store for us in the next few days. More on that later…
