Austin, Jason and Riley rode with us. It is about a 9 1/2 hour drive but we try to stay together so there were more stops waiting for the slower ones to catch up. We left at 5:45am and arrived in camp at 3:30pm. I took a few pictures of the camp in it's un-cleaned up state. The staff will spend this next week getting it all put together.
This is the pavilion where they eat their meals . The building behind it is the kitchen. Steve and I helped get it cleaned and we helped get dinner ready. They are spoiled to have such a great facility and to have all their meals cooked for them!
Austin is standing inside his new home for the next eight weeks. This tent has one attached behind it where they keep their clothes and whatever else they have. It was a bit chilly still up there. Steve and I ended up sleeping in the first aid station instead of a tent because I knew I would be too cold. The first aid station had heat, electricity and a bathroom!
Austin is the lifeguard this year and will be teaching lifesaving and swimming. This is their pool...looking a little green you say? It has been sitting all winter. The aquatics crew will be draining it, cleaning it and whatever else they have to do to get it ready...that's their job this coming week.
While waiting for dinner to be done, Monte the assistant director led everyone in singing camp songs. After spending the night and attending their short sacrament service, Steve and I left for home Sunday morning. We only stopped once and made it back in 9 1/2 hours. Oh, my aching bottom!
Wow-his tent is little! I didn't know he was going to be the lifeguard this year. That's cool. I hope he has fun up there and won't get too cold! I'm glad you got to sleep inside the warm first aid station :)
