Rocklands Camp

Finally, the day ,most of us have been waiting for...camp week!! We arrived at Rocklands around 11am today and had a discussion with Shaun and Vyan, the camp leaders. We talked about all the activities we were going to do with the kids and we also brought up new ideas that were incorporated into the schedule.
After lunch, I volunteered to be the dishwasher, of course. I didn't mind doing 30+ dishes since the window over the sink looked out over the ocean and mountains. We then played a team building game of Human Foosball, which was a lot more fun than I thought. Since it rained all day we couldn't do the outdoor rope course so we did a 30' rock wall instead! I decided to tackle the easy side first then went over to the outward sloped wall. We all cheered for each other as we went up. We went to the adventure center common room to do group bracelets to unite each person. Meganne and I had team Switzerland, white bracelets. A couple of the girls had choreographed a dance that we performed when the kids arrived at camp. We got the dance down after about an hour of practice, Shaun and Vyan loved it!!
The whole day was a great bonding experience for the group, we saw each others strengths and weaknesses and helped each other through them. We found out who could or couldn't dance, what music they liked, and if they liked to clean. The kids arrive tomorrow.
