Pack Out..uh In?

Last week at camp was a tad chilly! We were able to wear jeans some days and be totally fine and a sweatshirt was necessary each night. On Wednesday night we had out pack out where we hiked to Frontier Pines, dropped our sleeping bags off, and then continued up the hill on what is called the Sunset Hike. I've done this particular hike a few times, and have hiked various paths this summer but this time up the sunset trail was just great! I had fun talking to kids, it felt good to be hiking and the weather was great! When we reached the top we sang my favorite song at camp, Holy Time, I said and prayer, and we hiked down for dinner. We made the oh so famous Ho-Bo's for dinner and cooked them in our fire. As it started to get dark, clouds began to roll in. We were suppose to be sleeping under the stars that night. As a staff, we decided it would not be wise to take the risk of possibly sleeping in the RAIN so after evening worship we took all our sleeping bags and 50 campers back to camp and hiked down the hill in the dark. We all slept in the chapel and in my opinion it was great! We got to hike, eat up the mountain, have our evening worship by the fire, and DIDN'T have to freeze our fanny's off while sleeping in the dirt on top of what seems like the biggest rocks on the planet! So we still got to have our all camp pack out "sleepover" but in the comfort of a warm, dry, flat, mostly dirt free chapel! It was great! I really enjoyed it! In the morning we woke up and had bagels in the fire just like we would have done had we slept outside up at Frontier Pines.
