Throughout the week the schedule was wake up at 7:00, church gathering at 7:30, breakfast 8:00, group bible studies from 9:30 - 1:00, lunch, fun activites, dinner, more fun activities, sleep at 10:30. Of course there were breaks and small group times scattered throughout the day. One of the activities we did was climb a freaking mountain. That was pretty intense. If you have ever been to Peru and see those gigantic hills/mini mountains then that is what we climbed, except this one was more grass and rocks and sandy. I was really exhausted after that activity, then the next day we walked to the nearest pool. They told me that the pool was close, I guess that my concept of close is a little different from theirs because I don't consider a 5k walk close. My legs were already sore from the mountain climb the day before so they were jello after the pool walk. I was just surprised all the kids handled all the walking so well.
Other activities included skits and dramas. All the kids got really into those and actually did put on some really nice presentations. There was also a bonfire and all the teams had to create costumes to show off for everyone else. My favorite was a kid who's team dressed him up like cupid.

Those mountains do look pretty big! A break from a usual job is good even though it causes tired limbs. Guess the real thing is that the kids had a break, too.
Luv you.
Sounds like a great week- thanks for sharing the pictures!

I'm glad you got a break from things at the orphanage! It looks like all the kids were having fun! That group hike up the mountain was cracking me up! Looks like you all are playing follow the leader. :)
Hey KG! The real thing everyone wants to know about camp is...did you pull any classic camp pranks on the students? Glad to hear that you had a time to rest and renew and laugh. In our still moments is when God's will is most clear to us. As the old southern saying goes, "Left undisturbed, muddy water will eventually become clear."
