Getting into the swing of things and Stick Night

Things got rolling today and I took too many pictures to post in the blog so you can see all the pictures by clicking on the link to the right.  As I arrived for work campers were congregated outside the Field House preparing for the days activities.

I was on the serving line for lunch and got to see all the campers go through. Mr Turgeon or Mr Burns calls on one of the boy campers to bless the food at each meal. The hall is packed solid with campers and workers and the computer lab room just off the main dining area is used for overflow for workers. The campers get plenty of nutritious food to eat with seconds if they wish.  Soup and salad is served at every meal and today the soup was a delicious cream of mushroom...very yummy.

After my shift I went over Mr Brandon's canoeing class where 2G were having a lesson. 

Next was dinner. In the kitchen you are always preparing for the current meal or the next meal or tomorrow's meals. One of the fun tasks is squeezing lemons for the fresh lemonade that is made daily. I like it because I get to sit and give my torn tendon leg a rest!

At dinner I could see that the campers were getting
more comfortable as I got many more smiles than at lunchtime and even campers wanting to pose for photos!

Dinner was delicious Chipotle Cinnamon Chicken drums & wings and hamburgers. Apparently Chipotle Cinammon is the number one seasoning in Oklahoma so I need to buy some as I may not find it in Georgia and I know hubby would like this.

After dinner was Orientation II aka Stick Night! This was so much fun - to see each camper come up and let us know their names, where from, years at PYC and goals. All of them did so well to speak in front of a large group by themselves and some of them even had the confidence to add in humor! Their personalities came shining through and we all had an enjoyable evening. Many of the goals were to give their all in every activity, to be examples to the other campers and to get to know everyone. I took a few pictures but look out for pictures of individual campers to be posted on the Trued Blog or Peacefulstorms.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is Friday already. We have biblestudy in the evening. Mr Flurry speaks on the Sabbath, yea excited to hear what he will speak on.
