SBC Week
August 15th, 2007Our Sierra Bible Camp session was small but everything went quite well. The weather was outstanding with temperatures in the mid-80’s. We had a beautiful sunset walk to Lake Almanor, Bible classes, free time, t-dye t-shirts, campfire, olympics, etc. 8 days is still a long camp, but I didn’t notice it as much this time.
I was the counselor for the staff kids cabin, which worked well. I had 4 girls and knew 3 of them already. We were a bit short staffed overall so, I assisted with the Olympics. I, also, worked in the kitchen a couple times at lunch. It was fun to pitch in here and there but not be totally responsible for that area. Just come and help if needed – I like that.
Since we were a smaller camp, the pre-campers 8 and up were allowed to be on an Olympic team. Jennifer volunteered and was placed on a team. She totally enjoyed that and felt more like a real camper. Her team captain was very gung-ho and they ended up willing the Olympics. It made Jennifer very excited to get the special dinner treatment on the last night of camp. They decorated the champs table with special items and treats including Starbursts. Jennifer, knowing I love Starbursts, sweetly gave me some. I was honored to be her support throughout her entire Olympic career…
I rarely saw Jackie. She was off with a few friends and just doing her things.
All together, a relaxing and fun week for all.
