Epworth Forest.

our group stayed in red wing.
baaaaaad plumbing in that place. real bad!
ahaha.
anyways...
what to say about camp... hmm..
i know. i will break it down by days. ahaha im a genius..
--SUNDAY--
we got there at around 5ish..
we unloaded and unpacked. red wing looked ok. really old decor, but nice..
evening service was amazing
HOT..but amazing.
we heard Abandon..worship band..and Kerry O'Brien..speaker.
that night we had prayer and share (the whole group sits in a circle and we talk.)
Mike just talked about how camp was going to be, and then the best part,
PRANKS. he had everyone say if they were in or out. if you were in, you could participate in pranks, that means you could prank, be pranked, or watch pranks happen. if you were out, however, you couldnt even watch one, but you couldnt be pranked at all.
everyone was in.
yay.
--MONDAY--
woke up suuuuuuper early (5:15am) with bethany. we wanted to get showers before everyone else.
bethany and i just chilled until 9.
breakfast happened.
then we left for morning assembly (service)
after that. was PSG's (Peer Small Groups)
that was a fun experience.
my PSG leader was named Carl. he was a cool dude.
he was like 70, but he was, by far, the COOLEST 70 year old ive ever met. haha.
after PSG's we went back to the cabin to eat lunch.
evans mom brought *walking tacos*.
after lunch was activities.
i went kayaking with sam. she tipped us. grr. haha
prayer and share. ewwww.
it was suuuuper emotional.
we were talking about the things in life that were bothering us.
ewww.
all i could think about was my dad.
not gonna go into that right now...but....ahhhhhhh. it was bad. i cried. i hate crying.
--TUESDAY--
i decided to screw waking up early. i got up at 8:50 (ten minutes til breakfast..haha)
morning assembly was fun. always was.
abandon is AMAZING. allie, bethany, and i would always run up and get to the front, so we could mosh. haha moshing at church camp. great stuff....
ahaha now for the interesting thing..
that nite was the first *official prank*
it was completely unintentional.
SOMEONE in the girls side, plugged up a toilet....
lacey went to plunge it.
ten minutes afterwards..
mike discovers a cascading waterfall of poo water coming down the walls of the counselor bathroom (directly below the girls bathroom)
IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!
that nite....the guys came over, threw stink bombs in our side of the cabin. ewww.
then there was an all out waterballoon fight..
fun.
--WEDNESDAY--
um....biggest thing that happened that day was...the guys took all of the girls mattresses...haha. good one...really. i was proud...
I WENT TUBING...hahahaha funny experience
communion nite....
it was nice. no tears. which was good.
after service, kerry concecrated the elements of communion...
then everyone was given a little candle....
we all walked back to our cabin...
we did communion as a cabin. it was nice.
prayer and share...um.....angela did it...i think..idk...
--THURSDAY--
bethany and i wanted to get the guys back.
right before we left for afternoon service we went up to the guys bathroom and turned off all the water to their sinks...and one toilet. the other toilet we messed with..... we took a pen, pulled out the ink, so its an empty tube...connect it to the tube in the tank of the toilet....balance the pen tube on the edge of the tank. put the lid back on. they flush it. KABAM. they get sprayed with water...tada...
commitment nite..
we looked perdy....
it was a giant altar call basically. it was a bit emotional. i cried a little.
HOTSEAT..prayer and share..
hotseat is where one person sits in the center of the circle, and people say nice things about you.
we got through 7 people in two hours....there were 33 of us..
we went to sleep...
--FRIDAY--
urm...sam, allie, and i spent like 2 hours at shaky ground. we talked about....life...and how it sucks...and how its ok...
after evening service, we took a mile long hike in the woods...
along the way...the drama team (amazing) had their own little skits to do.....
1st one--one nite stand...
2nd one-- anorexic w/bulemic tendancies
3rd one-- guy stuggling with alcohol *cries*
4th one-- cutter
it was a big trigger for some (including myself...but shhhhhhhh)
i didnt like it all that much..
but i was proud of myself for making a mile long hike in the woods.
it was a bit emotional too.
hotseat was continuted tonite...
