Oct. 4, 2009 - Fall Retreat
I had the opportunity to go to another church camp with my church.
We all had a blast. I was able to go on a zip line. It took a lot of effort to get myself to jump, but once I jumped it felt like I was flying while on a rollercoaster .I also went on a big swing, I was lifted as high as I wanted to go then I would count down from 3 and let go of a rope that was attached to two lines.Once I let go I flew back and fourth really high, some people went so high it looked like they would flip over. Another one of the activities we did was a really big slide. We had to ride a blanket down the slide 'cuz if we went without a blanket we wouldn’t get anywhere. There is another swing that we could go on but this swing is just a rope tied with a loop and attached to a big tree.There's a little creek that runs under the swing so it gave us a reason not to jump off in the middle.There's little minnows in the creek and everybody was trying to catch them, but nobody succeeded.
The camp theme was "Trials" and the pastor who talked about those trials was amazing and had a sense of humor to go along with all his preaching. There was an awesome band that came to sing for us and they were amazing. They really gave glory to God! We did fun and challenging games like "Mad mad mattress" were we had to get our whole group to get on a mattress in all kinds of crazy ways such as doing a pyramid on a mattress and sitting on a mattress and standing on a mattress. The hardest of all was getting our whole team on then we had to turn the mattress on the other side without our team mates falling off.
We were all able to grow close to each other; for others it was a life changing event.
