• Camp

  We got back from Middle School Camp about 8:00 last night.  It was a long bus ride across the state, but fun.  Middle School kids have a lot of energy – even on a 8 hour bus ride.  I’ll add details about camp later. 

  There were over 200 at camp.  One of the games we played was, “Amazon Torture”.  All the guys sat down in the middle of the field.  The camp speaker was in the middle, the chaperons were locked arms circling him and the rest of the boy campers were around us with arms locked.  The girls all had teams. (8 teams)  There goal was to capture the boys and get them back to their group.  I thought there was no way the girls could break through and capture us.  I was wrong.  The first game me and 2 other guys were able to hold out and not be captured.  The second game everyone was dragged across the field.  It was a lot of fun. 

  A funny incident:   A group of us were hiking through the forest on the way to a waterfall.  Some girls went way ahead of us.  We they rounded a corner they came back screaming, “cows”.  A herd of cows with 2 bulls must of gotten loose and came close to the camp.  Well the hike leader went ahead to see if he could get the cows and bulls out of the way.  We were watching.  He ran back, yelling, “Stampede”.  (Not actually)  Anyways, everyone ran back to the camp as fast as possible.  It was hilarious.
