Hume SD day 1
So Scott Schlatter and I rode are bikes down here to Point Loma University. It was the easiest 100 miles I have ridden yet. For some this may sound lame, but I actually rode 100 miles without taking a break, so I I was pretty excited about that.
Anyway, so far the camp is amazing. For starters, I already knew this, but I was reminded when I got here that Darin McWatters, is the speaker this week. For those of you who don’t know, Darin is the lead singer of an awesome band called Everybody Duck. In high school, Radford and I were big fans of Everybody Duck, especially the album, 8 seconds. The ironic thing about that album is there a song that makes fun of summer camp romances, and we are now at summer camp.
Also I have been really impressed by the program. They started off the week by letting all the kids into a pitch black chapel, so that no one could see the stage, or the seats. This caused people to find a seat wherever they could. It was chaotic, but kids were forced to sit where they could first find a seat, and not where all their friends were. They they started an elaborate dance and light show for about a half hour.
The lights slowly revealed a very elaborate stage. Here is a distant photo of it taken with my iphone. So that part was pretty sweet.
Then they played the rules video which was definitely the best camp rules video I have ever seen. They shot it so it would look like a trailer to a horror movie, where all the kids who break the rules get killed by a big scary robot. I was really impressed.
Lastly they had a neat idea on how to get all the camp information to each of the students. They made these sweet bandanas, and on one side there is printed the whole weeks agenda, all the memory vesrses, and all the devotional material. As soon as the kids got them they expressed their individuality by making sweet head bands out of them almost in unison.
Lastly, Aaron bought a sweet hat from the thrift store, so here is a creepy picture of me wearing it. Yea thats right, its a raccoon head.
