Camp Time

Since arriving here, the Haley you know has become a more well-rounded person. This last week, she has:

1. Pass a vehicle maintenance/driving test

2. Passed a Jet Ski Driver training session

3. Become friends with lizards

4. Taken a night hike without lights of any kind and slept in the great outdoors.

5. Learned how to steer a canoe properly by rowing only on one side.

6. Competed in an intense evening of Paintball and has the large welts/bruises to prove it.

7. Learned how to help run the zip line

8. Participated in a Basketball class

9. Shot arrows

10. Now become the official motions lady during worship time at fire circle

This past week the staff here was able to have a lot of fun together. It's a gift be able to have more and more real conversations with my co-workers here, as well as random dance parties on the balcony and star gazing sessions.

It is finally camp week. I am thankful THE OAKS believes in extensive training and preparation for their staff, and I am ready for the kids to be here.

Each week I will be living in a cabin, working with either another female counselor or a City Staff member (an adult volunteer with World Impact that accompanies the kids from their own city), or both. Below is the schedule for the rest of my time here:

This week: 1st-3rd grade campers

July 3rd-8th: 4th-6th grade

July 10th-15th: 4th-6th grade

July 17th-22: 7th & 8th grade

July 24th-29th: 9th-12th grade

Please pray that God gives me the ability to communicate my testimony and the gospel well to these different age groups.

Thank you for even taking the time to read this. I'm loving being here but missing everyone back home.
