RETREAT2017 Log 1 (Thursday morning)
Just got dropped off and already it feels like I'm going to have a good time. I wanted to come prepared with rain gear because the forecast said t would rain a lot at the camp, but I didn't go too overboard because it could just be the humidity.
On my way to the meeting room, I got to meet David, the pastor who is going to give the messages for today and tomorrow. When I met him I knew he was going to be a pretty sweet guy. Can't wait.
So the morning activities for me were Slingshots and Archery. It wasn't entirely new to me because I've done the Ground Activities before. Just wish they still had the paintball course. It did take a while to get used to the bow & arrow, but the slingshot was easy, and my friends even made some structures out of the rusty paint cans and other metals. And the bow, once I got used to it, was fun to play with. I nearly landed a bullseye as well!
FInally, the Team Building. We did get to do two activities, one which took a lot of teamwork and determination to get done (and time, I should mention), but we got it done. THe first thing was a boat we have to balance, which was basically a big raft/seesaw that had some of the worst ends. Once we got to a certain point, we struggled.
The second one was just impossible. We had to line ourselves up accordingly so that we could transfer from one wooden plank to another without touching the grass. And guess who was the first and only one to touch the grass? Me. Yeah, hard feelings for me.
