We met at the stake center with all the other wards at 8:00 on Monday morning. After we talked to each other for about an hour and a half while we waited for everyone else to get there, we FINALLY loaded the buses at 9:30. We got there and got our bunks all set up. I was on the top bunk over Alisa.
On the first night we were there our ward picked a tree around the amphitheater and sang Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. It was very nice and all the other wards songs were beautiful too.
On Tuesday (I think) we went to the Challenger Course. There were a bunch of different stations that had activities that related to life. First we did the spiders web. It was a giant fake spider web that was strung between two trees. You had to get every member of your group through one of the holes without touching the tree and without touching the lines. I think we got everyone through.
We also did shark island. It was a rope swing in between two aspen trees. You were on a pretend sinking ship and you had to get the rope and swing to the door mat that was the safe island.
My favorite thing on the Challenger Course was the high course. First you had to climb up a fifteen foot pole with notches in it, then walk across a high wire, holding on to another wire for balance. When you to got to the end of the high wire, there was a little platform in a tree. A lady there would hook you up go a rope, take you off the other rope, and you would zip down the zip-line! It was fun.
On Wednesday we went to the lake and did canoeing. I had a canoe with Vickie and Betsy. It was really fun!
On Thursday we had ward time and made really cute duct tape purses.
And on Friday we had testimony meeting.
And on Saturday, we cleaned up and went home.
Next week I will post about Girls Camp with the New Ward.
