Wesley Woods Week Wednesday June 26th

Power is back on, thank you coffee gods out there! I mean I could've dug the old school "cowboy" coffee technique but I'd rather just press a button and have coffee pour out. Just a preference.

Only problem, though we now had electricity it was still raining buckets. Sometimes this happens at camp, can't always have sunny weather. The issue was we were supposed to go horseback riding today. The paths were too muddy. Um, kids please don't cry.

None of them did, thank goodness. I mean yeah the Junior High is 12-13 but still they are kids. Instead we the counselors planned something else for the Junior High that day. It was a "surprise", one that I was excited for. Hmm why don't I just post a few photos of it. Pictures are always worth more than words audience.

My adorable cabin. Left to Right: Bethany, Jalyn, (Jason), Andrea, and Esther

Jason's Cabin the only boys in JH. Jay, Will, and Tommy

The counselors! Katie, Maria, Maddie, Moi (bacon face), and Rebecca.

Basically we took them out for pizza. It was a special treat they could enjoy as Junior High. Also the parlor made us "sticky fingers" for dessert. Essentially it was a giant cinnamon roll styled like a pizza, frickin' delicious.

Now some of you are probably wondering what the hell is on my face. Well long story short I lost a game called "What are the Odds?" and was forced to wear duct tape on my cheek for the rest of the day. The duct tape was colorful and had a bacon pattern on it. Thus the name "bacon face" followed me for the rest of the night. Oh, it also stopped raining after we ate pizza. Least there's sunshine for the all camp activity and this:

Jason promised that if the Blackhawks won the cup Monday night he'd jump into the lake with all his clothes on. A true man of his word.

Now for the all camp activity we did CIT (counselor in training) rotations. Basically the kids were divided into different groups and spent ten minutes at a station doing a team building activity. I stayed at the s'mores station in order to capture these moments:

Aren't they all adorable? Well I think so. Roasting marshmallows around a fire hoping they don't burn.

Aw Jalyn someday that talent of stuffing your face will be useful. For now it's very cute.


The night ended with communion and small electric candles while the others sang Sanctuary. Sorry but that song drives me crazy. Last camp Jay-Jay had them sing it almost all the time. I'm a looper but seriously dude pick another song that isn't so frickin' slow! (The only reason my language is a tad cleaner is because these are about Church Camp).

Needless to say Wednesday went better than planned. Although we didn't have horseback riding we're keeping our fingers crossed for tomorrow. Otherwise we have to pass out refunds to Junior High parents. Please be drier tomorro!
