Week one is finished and we finished it will a bang. But before i go into that i just want to share alittle about how i am feeling about my first week.
I loved it, not ever second but most of them forsure. At the begining of the week i really struggled with having athority over the kids and enforcing things but i have been able to work past that.
Also these kids have won my heart, which really isn't that great of a surprise but still.
Over yesterday and today i really felt like alot of the kids became my friends and not just the kids. They come to camp every day wether they want to or not, it is a great form of child care for many parents even if the kids don't want it.
But i think even for the kids who first didn't want to be there they are now starting to enjoy it and want to be friends with us.
My camp name is Jello and its becoming pretty popular as today its all i heard on the bus. I like it, but it did take alittle bit to get used to.
So today we went on a day trip (like we do every friday). This week we took them to Peterborough to the Warsaw Caves.
It was a gorgeous day and the caves where amazing. I don't know if any of you have ever been in a real cave but it was awesome and to think that our God created it all!
Alot of the caves required alot of team work so that we would all be able to see where we are going so that no well fell. The caves where very intense at one point we {me, my co-leader and ur 6 girls} dropped a full bodies length down a hole. The walls where wet and dirty but it was such a great experience for our girls as they are scared of the tiniest spiders {which does actually really irritate me}.
One of the caves {there where multiple} was so tiny that you had to literally lie on your stomoch and shuffle through the cracks.
In another one it was so cold you could see your own breath which was just amazing since it was such a warm day above ground. It was a super long day but was so rewarding and a huge blessing to have that experience for the kids!
