Ugh...

Well it was our last registration day today. It's bittersweet...registration day is my favorite day of the week. It's also one of the most hectic.
This was probably one of the worst registration days I've ever had. Usually, Sunday is Melissa's (the Crew Managers) worst day, because that's when she assigns all the crews. Unfortunately the school here in Winston-Salem has never had a camp before so they weren't too clear about how much room would be needed.
Long story short: we didnt have enough room. It also hasn't helped that one of the youth groups needed 4 rooms to themselves. It's been a tight squeeze. Factor that in with the standard complaints of showers and heat...also the issue of a few leaks, and some people having to sleep in trailers...it's been a long day.

The staff here with us this week is awesome though. I've also already had some good conversations with some adult leaders so I really think it's all going to work out.

Say a prayer for me for tonight though...I think I might need it.

God bless,
Catherine

Setting Up Camp in North Carolna

So we're here in North Carolina...Winston-Salem to be exact. The only words to describe it currently are: hot and beautiful. They have these awesome trees here that are so bright red and pink...it's kind of like a magenta. We got here Wednesday night, went to the mall for dinner (the largest in North Carolina), and then we started setting up yesterday.
We hit a few bumps in the setup process...

For instance:
There is simply not enough room for the campers to sleep...

That's the main problem.
There's also an issue of a group needing separate rooms, which, given the current problem, isn't really working out so hot.

But, it is our last camp, and I'm determined for it to go as smoothly as it can...so therefore it will.

I'll put an update on about our journey through West Virginia a little later.

God bless,
Catherine
