This past week my youth group went to a summer camp in South Carolina. The camp itself was very big with a lot of different activities that we could choose from. They had a big lake, hummer rides, horse back rides, trails to hike on, and a giant zip line. All of these activities were spread out over hills and valleys, so no matter what we wanted to do, we had to do quite a bit of walking to get to it.
The first day we were there, some of the senior girls and I went into the lake. The water was so muddy that it turned our hair brown and died our bathingsuits...needless to say, the lake was not as appealing in the days to follow.
Another thing that was not very appealing was the infestation of bed bugs. Every morning I woke up with new itchy bug bites covering my body. Even now that I am home from camp I am finding them in new places. Now I will take people a lot more seriously when they tell me not to let the bed bugs bite!
After the first night of sleeping with the bugs, we woke up and chose how we would spend our day. most of the camp did some of the activities that the camp offered, especially the hummer rides. My friends and I decided that we wanted to preform a lip syn on the last night, so we spent most of our free time practicing for that. A lip sync is basically when you get up on stage and a song by a different person starts playing, and you pretend to be playing or singing it. We had a very short time to reherse ours, and we wanted it to be good. It is our last highschool summer camp, after all, we had to leave our mark! We chose a fun and up beat song and basically made ourselves look like idiots dancing to it. We all had so much fun and were so glad we decided to do it.
The rest of the days it thunderstormed so no one really went outside. When it was not raining it got up to 102 degrees outside, so not a lot of people did the outdoor activities. Even in the short time when I was outside, the sun left it's mark on me. My camp souveniers this year were sun burn and bug bites, but I still managed to enjoy the week very much and i cannot wait for winter camp!
