Camp

The days of the week, dates, schedules, and time in the world disappear at camp. Everything becomes camp time, schedules and days of the week. I never know what the date is or what day of the week it is. My days are now numbered, day one, day two, day three, etc. up to day seven. Then repeat.

So much has happened since my last post. We went on some fun intern outings, went camping, had our intern training, worked for a couple more days and then summer hit! We're now half way through week two of camp and so far it has been AMAZING!!!

I love it here. I love my job, I love the people I work with, I love this camp, I love my summer staff, I love the campers. God is everywhere and constantly showering me with his love and blessings. I have already learned so much and I know I have so much more yet to learn.

I'm slowly building relationships with interns, which is always a process with some and I'm able to jump in with others. And God's already taught me a lot about myself in this area. I've had some great conversations with some unexpected people. Sometimes things are really challenging, and other times they are so sweet.

I love my summer staffers this session and am so excited about continuing to get to know them. They are all really hard workers and have awesome attitudes. They're just really awesome people too. I'm trying to soak up all the time I have with them while they're here.

The Lord has been at work in so many ways, I can't even begin to list them all. He's broken me some days, lifted me up others, but all of it is good. He is here at this camp and I love it. I am at home here. This is where I belong right now.

Photo Update

Quick recap of the last week, which was crazy fast and so much going on!

First I graduated...



My parents came! yay!


And I graduated on their 28th anniversary!

Yay for friends!













Then I packed my life in Big Haus...



I do have to say, that I am quite proud of my packing abilities...



Then, off to Nationals! This was at the banquet the first night



After Nationals, I headed to PA to spend the night at Abby's house. So much fun!

Then drove to New Jersey and dropped everything off in my grandma's basement. My awesome cousin came and helped me!

Then I FINALLY headed to camp! The last 30 minutes of my drive I was going crazy. I was so excited!

I'm here now and loving it! We were supposed to go canoeing today, but it rained, so we went on a scavenger hunt around camp and the surrounding towns. Tons of fun. Now we're off to go camping. Hopefully the rain stays away.
