Fun at Camp!




From the 23 of June till the 28 of June, both my sisters and I went to a teen camp at Alpine Bible camp in West Virginia. The theme of the week was Medieval so we had fun games such as knight sword fights or knight challenges all focusing on working together. We had a great speaker who taught us about true courage and faith. I went to two extra activities which were white water rafting and high ropes course. On high ropes course I fell once but the rope tied to me held me yet still it was very scary despite the short distance I fell before it stopped me. I learned from high ropes that I am afraid of heights but I still enjoyed all the challenges and I had a very nice partner. I like white water rafter better, it was an all day outing along a long and rapidyish river (rapidyish: adj meaning full of rapids). I never fell out of the raft but I did fall of my seat and into the raft a few times. We got to swim in some parts of the river and a few times we got to swim down some rapids which is very fun though not recommended without adult supervision. Part way through the rafting trip it started to rain then thunder and lightening but it didn't last the whole time so we did not get to wet :) Another thing at camp I really liked was the very last night, it was raining outside so the leaders made an inside camp fire and all the campers sat around and shared their testimonies and songs, by the end of the evening almost every girl was in tears and yes even some of the boys moistened up a bit. I left with many friends, many stories to share, and many lessons learned.

Sounds like you had lots of fun at camp. I can't wait to hear all about the extra details! Hehe!
I've been on a couple ropes courses before. I think I've told you. They're fun. But if I fell like you did I might also be a bit scared.
I have to stop now so I can reply to your many emails!
I miss you!
Love,
Acacia
