Hello Everybody! It's been a busy past couple days here at G.C.C. when Kayla left off on Sunday morning the campers were choosing which departments they wanted to go to for free day. Then we ate some lunch and headed down to the cabins for rest period. After rest period we had canteen and then a couple Camper vs. Counselor games. We started off with the famous Capture the Counselor. Then we mixed things up a little bit and did Capture the Campers! Then after that we played a couple more camper vs. counselor games of dodge ball and soccer. The campers beat the counselors in Soccer but the counselors beat the campers in dodge ball. After that we headed to our cabins to clean up for dinner. After dinner we had fishing off the dock, volleyball and basketball and the camp store was open. Later that evening we headed to the Devils Canyon to watch cabins 1 and 9 put on the Creation Campfire. Which was followed by a couple of stories told by Father. The kids seemed to really enjoy themselves. After that it was time to shower and head to bed. DING DING DING it's 6:55am on Monday morning and the bell is ringing nice and loud, like usual we head up to chapel, then to breakfast and back down to cabin clean-up. After cabin clean-up the kids headed to their 3 departments of the morning. After departments we went to lunch then rest period. After lunch cabin 11 headed to the caves with Andrea and Shaun and got all dirty and had a great time. After rest period it was off to canteen and afternoon activities which included Ropes, Free Swim, Soccer, Volleyball and Basketball, Dock Social and Tubing on the lake. Then it was time to get ready for Monday Night Tacos :-) After dinner cabin 10 was sent to the D.L.B (Dry Lake Bed) for a little outdoor camping. Cabin 12 went to the Haunted House. Cabins 1 and 9 had a baking night with E-Bone (Eric, the Cook) where they made apple pie, cherry pie and no bake oreo pie. Cabin 11 went on a sunset cruise with DJ and did some star gazing on the pontoon boat in the middle of the lake...they loved it! Cabin 2 had a star gazing social on the dock... it was a beautiful night for looking at the stars, the moon was full and the weather was a bit chilly. Cabin 3 had a night swim. After their night time activities were done it was time for bed. It's Tuesday at 6:55am and the bell is ringing, time to get up and head to chapel, breakfast and then back down to the cabins for cabin clean-up. Cabins 11 and 3 headed off camp property for a Tomahawk Social, where they swam in the Rainbow River (it's a cold 74 degrees year round) and hung out and had lunch there. It was a nice surprise for them and they all really enjoyed it. Back at camp the rest of the cabins were off to departments. Then came lunch and rest period. After rest period the kids went to canteen and then their afternoon activities of Ropes, Free Swim, Dodge Ball, A Water Balloon fight and Soccer. After activities we headed back to our cabins to get ready for dinner. Dinner was a wonderful Thanksgiving in July...we had turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans and stuffing. It was delicious! Then there was Dodge ball in the L.C.A and Fishing off the Dock. Once those were finished we lined up on the basketball court for an awesome chapel talk given by Chris M. on good sportsmanship. After that the kids headed off to their night time activities. Cabin 5 spent the night at the Haunted House. Cabins 6 and 12 had an I.C.S. (Ice Cream Social) Cabins 11 and 3 had a star gazing social on the dock. Cabins 1,2,9 and 10 had a Night Swim. Then it was off to bed. Today is Wednesday, and once again the bell is ringing at 6:55am for everyone to get up. We do our normal morning routine of chapel, breakfast and then cabin clean-up. After cabin clean-up we head off to 3 morning departments. Then we headed to lunch followed by rest period. After rest period it was off to canteen. Then the boy cabins played an intense game of soccer. And the girl cabins had Ropes, Free Swim and Dock Social. We had a Cook-out tonight of hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and baked beans. Now, the kids are all getting showered up and putting on their nicest clothes and getting ready to head to the last dance of the session. But, that's all I have for you now...I hope you are enjoying your kid-free time! See you Friday morning!
