Days to Remember

We have officially started our second week at Castaway Club! We are settled in and enjoying all that the camp has to offer! It has been a learning experience for us...camp up here is different than what we have experienced at other camps! I am so use to being surrounded by mountains while at camp...takes a while to get used to being surrounded by water! We have had a great time getting to know our fellow assigned team...we are definitely the lone southerners! Our team hails from the North and Northwest (Chicago, Wisconsin, Washington State, Montana). For those of you who were not already aware...our camp director for the month, Brett, was Kyle's Area Director when he was in high school. Brett also babysat Kyle when he was a kiddo. He is now the Regional Director in Chicago. It is a blessing to be able to be here with him and his family. I could go on and on...and I am sure I will in posts to follow. Here are some pics from out time here so far...

This is Kyle and his friend, Jason from Kansas City. Jason was one of Kyle's Young Life leaders when he was in high school. We didn't know that Jason was going to be an Adult Guest for week 1. Kyle had a blast reconnecting with him.

Hmmm...well not the best picture of me...but this is pretty typical of what I look like while on assignment. Hopefully we'll get a better picture while we are here and you can bet that I will post it!

This is the deck right outside of our house by about 100 feet.

This is our home for the month...sorry it's a little hard to see. This picture was taken while standing on the deck seen in the previous picture. Our house is called "Ketch". We are sharing it with 3 other families as well as 3 of our single staff members and a mouse. Yes, a mouse. I am hopeful that maybe it is a chipmunk (there are thousands of chipmunks here) that has found it's way in through a hole. We shall see...

There is another assigned team house next door, "The Dory", which houses another 3 or 4 families as well as some single staffers.

That is all for now...be watching for updates!
