So, I was never a huge sports gal growing up. I liked to do what my brother did, and I stayed pretty active, but the only sport I stuck with was tennis, until now!
This week has been a training week for us Program Assistants. We are learning how this camp runs, and learning how to teach the various activities it has to offer, like high ropes, low ropes (well we aren't teaching them, at least I am not because I am not certified, but we will get to be around them), woodcarving, arts and crafts, and my new favorite activity.....archery, who would have thought, huh? Well, I didn't think it would be that fun, and I am not great, but once I got the feel for it I realized it will be a good way to get some aggression out. I didn't do too bad for my first attempt, and with practice I might become a regular Robin Hood. Well maybe not that good, but decent hopefully. It surprised me that I might be good at this, because when it comes to sports there aren't too many things I am good at, especially not the first time I try. So, I am excited to say that I am an archer or an archist (I don't even know what it is called, anyone know?).
Another exciting thing that we have started is developing our own outdoor ministry philosophy. It is somethig that we will work on throughout our time here, but we have the foundation pieces started, and I am excited to get down what my personal philosophy is. I think it will be hard though, because I have to focus on about 5 core beliefs and I am passionate about a lot of things, so we will see how that develops.
