The WIlds camp part 2

 This year at the Wilds, they had a camper choir for kids in grades 8th-12th.  They sang, on Thursday night, "Take My Life and Let It Be" to a different tune. (The Wilds did that alot- took songs we know and changed the tunes around. It was pretty cool. ) Here's a picture of the camper choir.

 Here's a little story of something that our cabin had to do on Friday.  Each girl cabin has a brother cabin, and our brother cabin won the Scripture memory. Our cabin memorized 19 verses, and our brother cabin memorized more than that. So they got to "torture" us. :) First we had to jump in the lazy river, in the middle of the water wars. They got to spray us as much as they wanted to. The water was freezing, but it was fun. A few girls in my cabin were screaming because the water was so cold and they were getting squirted. :) I think that made they boys shoot them even more!! Then we had to crab walk to the water tower, and run the rest of the way to the sandy volleyball courts. Guess what we had to do next? Roll in the sand!!! :) Then we had to go and wash the sand off in the freezing cold river.
After we got dressed, everybody met in the service building for final scoring. It's sooooo loud in there because all the teams are doing their cheers. The Blue Ridge Lumber Loggers won!!!! (The poor green team- they had only won once the whole summer. ) After final scoring, blue team had a meeting, and then all the blue team counselors jumped into the freezing river!!!Here's a picture of all the blue team counselors.

 This year, I went on the giant swing with my sister!!! As we were being lifted up, people on the ground were counting down...5...4...3...2...1!!! We dropped and I closed my eyes!! Of course we screamed, and when it dropped me, I lost the thing I put my feet on. The worst part was being dropped, but I am very happy I tried it. :)  
This is the giant swing. You got on the swing under the arch, and it lifted you up backwards. After you dropped, you would swing back and forth.

Here are a few more pictures that I took.

                                                This is our cabin. (The one on the left.)

                                                        This is the lazy/crazy river.

                               Lots of kids went to this yummy place throughout the day.

                                                      And a final picture of the river.
