August 16th-
It was finally hear after 8 months of anticipation! Our first day of actual "work" at Sharp Top Cove! And by work I don't really mean work I mean fun! I never feel like I am working when I am at a younglife camp! At 8am all of camp staff had a morning devotional together then we all headed of to work. My first rotation is house keeping, which is really more house keeping/ropes! Brandon who will arrive on friday will be my partener on house keeping staff. We also have a newly hired supervisor named Lacy! She is really awesome! After devo I headed to the office to meet up with our guest services interns. Guest services are the interns that deal with the groups that rent out camp during the week or weekends they get them what ever they need and host during the time they are here. Guest services interns are Octavia, Mike and Patrick. So I met up with them for a little bit of ropes training to get us through the week until we have our CO training (certified operators) next week. We learned how to set up the wall and belay properly as well as how to operated the giant swing (a very large swing that drops you from 40 feet) and quantum leap (a very small pole you have to climb and jump off while trying to hit a bell) Then we headed to lunch with the rest of the staff and after the campers had some free time to ride the rides while we operated them. After free time we had dinner and after I headed into town with a previous summer intern named Casey who brought me to canton which is about 30 mins away from camp. To get to down town Jasper it takes about 15 mins. The camp is beautiful and completely secluded! When we got back I was incredibly tired, but I found out I had tuesday off!!
More later
