Court of King Coratacis

(In case any of you catch it, I am sorry if I spelled that wrong.)

BUSY! That is how I feel.
Staff-O has been intense and its only been 5 days! But I love every minute of it.

Sorry it has taken me so long to post but, like I said it’s been busy. Oh and also there’s super limited internet out here in the middle of nowhere. I don’t get to just hop on whenever I want. (Not that I really have had the time anyways.)

Lemme give a little run down on what camp life has been like thus far:

I have not slept past 7:30 all week. Story of my summer. Well except on most Saturdays.
I love the staff. Everyone is so unique and awesome. Bonding has been amazing.
We did some sweet challenge course things which were a lot of fun. We had to line up on log and line up in order based on birthdays. But there was no talking. And you couldn’t get off the log. Oh and 2 people were blindfolded. So much fun.

I am going to be certified to do so much stuff in the next 2 weeks it is insane.
                -first aid and CPR certified.
                -Wilderness first aid certified
                -tubing down the river and swimming in the creek safety certified
                -high, mid, and low ropes course certified.
and that  is all I can think of off the top of my head. It’s just amazing!

Also something I am looking forward do this summer is horseback riding! Camp has (well at least will on Wednesday) 16 horses! And in order to get them ready for campers the staff has to ride them! So exciting. I already got to hop on one for a little bit and I can’t wait for a real ride.

Next topic: Weather

It’s been ridiculously cold..well at least for this poor California girl. Hot showers have been the best.  (Something I thought wouldn’t be a possibility at camp since its kinda old)
Also, rain boots are saving my life this summer.
Typical clothes include long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, and rain coat. Still cold. Haha. There has been a bit of sunshine. Like today was a beautiful day.

One thing I am totally digging at camp is the beautiful creation I am surrounded by thanks to God. Being in it constantly makes me feel his presence and it's great. Last night we went up this road to the mountains and sat on the mountain side watching the clouds roll through the trees. It made me think about my relationship with God and how the clouds resemble walls I sometimes feel between me and God. And as I was sitting there soaking in God, the clouds started to disappear, and it made me realize that if I just absorb God and his word, that my walls can disappear and everything will be clear. It was such an amazing thing and made me really excited for his work this summer. I can't wait. 

Although I really miss home, I am really enjoying camp and can’t wait for the real craziness to start. With the exception of a few weeks, there will be at least 120 campers here each week…which is a big deal for camp. So much will be happening! It’s going to be amazing! Blog posts will get better I promise. Give me time to work it out.
