I am at high school camp this week in Ojai Valley, and it's incredible! I literally feel like I am at a REAL summer camp. That may sound nutso since I have been at camp every year since I was 15, but this camp is different. There are tent-abins, which are tents and cabins at the same time. They have porches and screen doors. It's a beautiful thing. I was telling
Ryanne yesterday I feel like I am at Bug Juice camp, which she told me is called camp anawana, not bug juice, but that is not the point. I wish I could stay here all summer, but bring up my family, and Brandon and a nail salon.
I just love camp.
Here is why-
walking everywhere
woodchips
picnic tables for every meal...outside.
the smell of bonfire
giant bugs
hoodies are worn at night, because it is actually cold.
though there is a schedule, it includes 5 hours of free time.
choco tacos (I even wrote a song about these delights...)
worship in the mornings and evenings
spending time, a lot of it, with friends
cards, for hours
Here are things that bug me..but not enough to sway my love-
trantulas in the middle of chapel, 5 inches from my feet
my feet are constantly dirty no matter how many times I wash them
there is a bee problem this year at our camp so they are constantly around, especially when I am trying to enjoy pancakes
so to sum that up, anything that has to do with bugs and my feet.
That is it.
Camp is the best.
