Today concluded week 1.2. Last week there was a group from Indiana here that was technically week 1 for the activity staff. But for the rest of us this was week 1. Therefore the term week 1.2 came into existence.
I got to spend my afternoons/evenings (from 3:30pm to somewhere between 8 and 9 pm) in CoCo (Copper Country's) kitchen cooking and making tons of cookies for campers to enjoy. Don't ask me to make cookies for at least a month after I get home because I won't want to make any. I also spent some time with a cabin of nine girls that were amazing. These girls defiantly had some good questions and got me thinking about the way I think about and understand things. I also got the chance to go for a horseback ride. It was the first time I had ever been on a horse, and so as I climbed on, I was a bit nervous about how I would do. I ended up doing just fine and had a lot of fun. Just getting on a horse got me out of my comfort zone, and so getting on a horse then going on a trail ride was something completely out of my comfort zone. Yet, I had promised myself that I would go on at least one trail ride this summer. So it was good that I was able to get out of my comfort so early in camp.
This morning, the cabin I helped with, their brother cabin, and I sat in the chapel for a while with paper plates and pens. Each of us wrote our name on a paper plate, then we passed the plates around and each person wrote on each plate. It is great to read what the campers and other staff I worked closely with this week wrote to me.
One of the campers wrote something on my plate that got me. The camper wrote:
Erin,
Even though I don't know you that much I know you are truly a smart person with much wisdom. Your input at the campfires really affected me.
-camper name
I now know what my schedule will be for the next two weeks. I will be up in CoCo kitchen Sunday through Thursday in the afternoons/evenings and have Friday and Saturday off, which is great.
