There are certain sights, sounds & smells one expects to encounter while at camp. The one smell I distinctly remember is the musty smell the clothes would take being in the cabin. It seemed that the smell was just leaving the clothes when the next time to be at camp would come along. The sights & sounds I remember are campers having fun with all the activities, quoting our memorized Scripture verses in chapel & then the quiz following the verse recitation. Our counselors had prepped us all morning & afternoon on the chapel sessions from the previous evening & that morning. We had to be prepared for any question that may be asked from those two sessions.
Despite the fact some things have changed here at camp - cabins upgraded, indoor plumbing in all cabins, hot water with which to take a shower, etc., there are some things that still remain the same. The campers all go home with the musty cabin smell attached to all their clothes. The campers still enjoy the activities.
The one outstanding sight of this week of camp is seeing the boys sitting by the side of the pool. Not because of discipline but because of the weather. Every time the boys get to the pool, the thunder starts. They get out and very shortly leave the pool area because of lightning. We pray they will be able to swim tomorrow.
We are thankful for the rain. We know the boys are disappointed that they cannot swim. That is the all time favorite camp activity.
