Today was a rainy Thursday, but as usual, it did not affect our pace here at camp. Our staff got us started on the right foot by singing a rousing (and frankly a little rowdy) rendition of “This is the Day That the Lord Has Made” at breakfast. Activities went on relatively unhindered – our wake boarders certainly did not mind the rain. The outdoor cooking activity group simply took their recipe du jour to the nearest indoor fireplace. As for our skeet-shooting group, their timing was perfect. They fit their session into a one-hour window of blue sky and dry weather.
We are excited today for our WILD (Wilderness Intensive Leadership Development) campers. Our first year WILD group is getting their last rest tonight before tomorrow morning’s 23-mile mountain bike ride. The bike ride is only the beginning of their final trip together for the summer. After reaching a trailhead on bikes, they will pick up backpacks and complete a four-day Appalachian Trail trip together. We are proud of their development and confident that they will continue to succeed as a team.
Until next time, we’ll be here dancing between the rain drops and enjoying God’s Creation for all its worth.
