• Aug. 5, 2008 - Camp... VBS... Relatives... in the Span of Three Weeks? AAHH!!

Posted in Travel

Well, my dearest viewers, I am finally back on the computer for now.

 

My new schedule is that I will be blogging/visiting your blogs on Tuesdays.

 

Alright, time for an update. Several things have happened since I have been gone. I have had VBS one week, and two days later, I went to a Christian church camp. The day after I got back from camp, we had relatives come to my house for three days. Then they left this morning.

 

Talk about busy!

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Alright, just a little bit about the camp.

 

The camp is located in the middle of nowhere, out in the sticks, so that it's away from the influence of the city.

 

It has a lake which you can swim in, and is surrounded by corn-fields.

 

In the lake, they have a giant blob, which catapults you into the air when someone else jumps on it, a waterslide, and also ziplines (not to mention a floating dock which you can swim out to).

 

The blob is a thing of terror for me. The second time I got onto it, I flopped my head back just before a guy weighing close to 200 pounds jumped onto it.

 

WHIP-LASH!!!

I flew up into the air, my headed swimming, everything in a blur. Then, I hit the water on my side, bruising my hip.

 

Ouch!

 

That is why I have a fear of the blob.

 

------------------------

 

The camp was a Christian camp, run by the YTC (Youth Temperance Council). The kids were very good, and knew how to behave, which was a blessing.

 

The leadership was amazing, because they were responsible, and kept the kids in line, while also interacting with them.

 

The band, called S.H.A.R.C. (Serving Him A Risen Christ), was awesome. I got to personally interact with them, and spend time with them, and get to know them.

 

-------------------------

 

Another great thing about the camp was that my First cousin-in-law once removed Steve and his wife, my First cousin once removed Carolyn, were in charge of it.


It's always nice to have relations to the leadership! :-)

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

That was my awesome week at camp!

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Alright, I've got to go now. I'll hopefully be back next Tuesday with another post!

 

Thanks for reading!

 

~Nick

Hi again! It's good to have you back. I've been pretty bad about blogging this summer, unfortunately. I'll jump back on the proverbial bandwagon when school starts again.
Archery? Well, the crossbow (with the sight) was pretty easy to shoot, as there was a sight. The manual one was hard at first, but once you got the hang of it it wasn't too bad.
It was pretty different from what I thought it would be, though. Have you ever shot a crossbow?

I'm glad you all had a nice time, minus the whip-lash, on your trip. :) I'm sorry I never replied back to your email, but mom was getting down on my replying to them and then just yesterday my computer crashed. Hopefully we can get the files off tonight and reboot it. :(
