Friday
DAY 6 (Megan)
Today was
our last day at camp. By breakfast time
at 7:45 we were expected to have most of our stuff ready and packed for our
departure later in the day. After
breakfast, we headed down to the whitewater rafting place. Although it was sprinkling a bit and a little
nippy out, it still was fun. We broke up
into 3 rafts of 6 people each and headed out on the Ocoee River. We traveled approximately 5.1 miles and
dropped a total of 245 feet throughout the rapids. After the bus ride filled with music back to
camp, we had some free time to get all of our things together. We quickly ate lunch and headed back out on
the road. Everyone seemed to be tired
out and most of us slept on the way to our next stop, Wittenberg
University. We arrived around 11pm
(later than expected) and we all got our own dorm room keys. Most of the girls had their own dorm to
themselves and some of the boys roomed with each other. After everyone was settled we all gathered in
the common room area. As tradition, the
seniors got to reflect on all of their past STAGE experiences and say their
goodbyes. It was an emotional night
despite the fact that it was 1 in the morning!
Overall, the day was packed with fun-filled times and meaningful
conversations. Leaving camp in Tennessee
wasn't necessarily easy, but the times that we had there will never be
forgotten.
