Day 2:
The day started with the boy’s cabin accidentally
waking up and showering at 6:30 in the morning; an hour ahead of schedule. The
time was passed by playing various card games (Egyptian Rat Screw) where
Eric McChesney won. After breakfast at
9-ish, we packed up the luggage, loaded up the vans, and we were put into
groups for each of the 3 vans, and promptly
started going the wrong direction to the final destination. The car ride was
long, filled with false-hopes and let-downs, but we prevailed. The biggest
cause of our troubles was when I-90 was shut down, forcing us to take alternate
routes through the rural cities of New York. But when things seemed bleak,
positive attitudes and energy came to the rescue. Many different games were
played throughout the 11-hour drive (Normally 6 hours) many friends were made
by the extensive bonding activities taking place during the detoured trip. Once
we finally got there, we have gotten dinner and met the staff. Later, all the
other groups came together for “Club”, where we all met
each other and had a tournament of a game similar to “rock, Paper,
Scissors”
but we used Lumberjack, Tree, and Raccoon. Then we sang a few songs and worship
activities, and then separated the youth groups by their groups and reflected
on our adventure.
