Camp


Hello!! So last week I went to Pine Cove ( An AWESOME Christian Camp) , and had a life changing experience. On the first day, as we drove up, all the counselors were jumping up and down going crazy. I had begun to feel a little nervous. But once I got to my cabin, which was named Cheyenne 4, I met people that were as crazy as I was. My counselor, Fizney, was so awesome. That night the whole cluster of Cheyenne went to the middle of the forest and ate s'mores. *YUM*


The next day our cabin had bonded so well that we were the first cabin to win the spirit stick. After Breakfast we had bible study. It was cool learning about things from thousands of years ago. That day, we got our activity class schedules For me, that day, I had Sailing, then Horseback riding. After those two activity classes we had lunch which was the best meal of the day. There was always a hilarious skit where an evil bandito pied someone in the face. =D after that we had F.O.B.- Flat on Back. This was a time when we received mail. I was luck enough to get mail everyday. After Fob, we had our next classes. Mine were Archery and Pamper pole. Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it looks. First you have to get a harness on and climb a 20 foot tall wooden pole. if you make it to the top you then have to turn around and get onto the top that gets really shaky. standing up is the hardest part. After you succeed at doing that, you have to have the courage to jump off. I learned while doing that to trust that God will not let you fall. It's scary, but fun. Then its time for the most fun time of the day- FREE TIME!!!! You can go to the pool, buy something at the store, or even get a snack. That day I decided to get a diet coke and head to the pool. Half way through free time, though, I decided to dry off and go to the store. I bought a hat. After that I waited for Fizney to come for our one-on-one. That was fun. Too Soon Free time was over. Time to get all Perty for Redneck Reunion. Mom sent some fake Buckteeth to wear but they were too hard to talk in. After dinner, we got to run around and play some really fun games like tug o' war, bobbing for apples, and sumo wrestling! After that we had worship club which was so much fun. We had a talk after each club and then it was time to take a shower and go to sleep.


The next day we got ready for Pit and Palace. That is basically cleaning our cabin. We went to Breakfast and went about our normal routine. after fob I went to Archery again but then after that I went to the zip line. soon it was time for free time and I got another diet coke and headed to the pool. I went off the blob and the trapeze which were both awesome. I had to leave the pool 15 minutes early for the seventh grade trip to the Timbers where I will go next year. We ate Pizza and went Banana Boating.Wiping out was awesome. After that we just played around for a while. Then we had our out door worship. then we took our showers and went to bed.



We woke up and went around like usual but the Bandito stole the spirit stick. Evil Right? I started Pool Games and I did the climbing wall. I couldn't make it to the top though. then I had sailing again. After free time and another diet coke, it was time for The Duct Tape Dance. That was probably my favorite theme night. The girls got to stay up later than the boys that night and eat candy.

Everything went as usual. During Free time I went to g help out at the barn which was a lot of fun. Then it was time for commando. we had fireworks so we had to postpone the Game of Commando until Friday. Grrr. Oh well we got more time to take showers.

Friday. The last full day of camp. The Covie Awards. Cheyenne won the Cluster Sword. I let out the horses for the last time. I had fallen in love with this horse named Timber. He was so sweet and fast. I got to wear my green dress and Win the game of Commando. That's right. Campers always Win!!!

On Saturday I had to say good bye to all the friends I had made, good bye to all of the horses, good bye to the counselors, Good Bye to the Pine Cove Ranch. This Camp taught me many things but above all, to trust that God has a plan for all of us and that we should trust Him and go to Him in our times of despair.

Coming home from camp is always hard...I'm in the same boat. Oh well. At least when we're home, we get to blog about it! :)
