Camp Campfire
Last week I went to the Nobleton OCRC Youth conference. It was a lot of fun. At first I was nervous about everything. I hardly knew anyone. But as the week went on I made some friends. Most of my new friends are from out West, but I did make some from in Ontario.
Sports were great.. even tho we only got to play 3 different ones. Go team 7!!! Yay.. my team was #1 in the standings. We only lost 2 games all week. We played volleyball, soccer and ultimate frisbee. My team-mates were Mark Riemers (team leader), Peter Vamder Lei, Greg Vandyken (my cousin by the way), Eliesje Aarsen, Nicole (I don't know her last name..), Deanna Zekveld, and myself.
Talent night was really funny. 6 differnt fairy tales/nursery rhymes distorted. Cinderfella, Snow White Nypolean Dynamite style, The Eensy Weensy Spider, Humpty Dumpty, Repunsel, and Jack & Jill. All of the campers were divided up by cabins and some by rooms in the cabins to perfom these differnt skits. Also the chaperones and some of the visiting parents also participated in this. Then there were many other acts.
The speakers were really good. I found myself really paying attention this time. I also took notes which seems to help. My mind did seem to wander when we watched the movies. For some reason I couldn't pay attention during the second one. I was really tired I guess.
The singing was really good too..Campfire was fun. I usually don't like campfires..and other times I went to camp, campfire time I never looked forward to until the singing. This time it wasn't as long and singing started earlier. I never knew who to talk to and I felt so alone. This time we sit down and hardly have time to talk. One of my favourite songs is "Hear oh Lord and Answer" I don't know who its by, but the words are amazing. Its really nice esp. when sung in a round.
I'll post some pictures from camp some time when I have the chance.

Yeah...that was an amazing conference. And btw, the teams were so unfair! You guys had like the 5 best players there were!
;-P
But it was a lot of fun. I have no idea where my team stood...I dont' think they ever figured it out!
Can't wait to see the pictures!
No fair!!
Our team stank....we didn't lack enthusiasm...we had a team name and everything!! Go Rockets!! But we only won one game all week!! :(
Haha you guys suck!
Just kidding. :-)
Good post! Campfire time at campfire camp... try saying that 10 times fast.
Good times good times...
Cinderfella to the CURFEW!
Who were the best players? I didn't make up the teams so its not my fault that I ended up on a good team. :)
Okay...you guys had Mark, Greg, Peter, yourself...and you 4 were amazing. There was one more I think but I forget who...
ME..?? haha.. I'm not that good. I totally suck at soccer. And to make it worse I had a sore leg so I was practically useless playing. I'm surprised I did as well as I did.. lol Did the other person you ment was Nicole?
Ohh yeah it was Nichole. See what I mean? You guys had all amazing players...not that my team didn't have any, but I kind of suck.
But whatev, it was fun anyways
Well maybe next time you will be on a good team. I dunno. I felt like I was useless on the team when we played soccer. I got hurt a couple of times cuz I got the ball in the guts a few times.. OUCH!!! but it was worth it since those mishaps led to goals..
I didn't mean my team was horrible! We had some really good players. But I, for one, think I stink.
Basically one team just had all real athletes...and were unbeatable
I said we lost 2 games.. Volleyball and ultimate frisbee.. our first 2 of those games..
