Senior High Week is Here!

The senior highers have waited all the way until August, but their turn is finally here! We’ve been through one full day, and let me tell you, it’s made C.O. history. Not kidding at all.

We woke up this morning to a thunderstorm, meaning we couldn’t do Penguins… the traditional way. Luckily, our staff is inventive and we still had the event, but with a hose! That’s not the making history part though, Penguins with a hose has happened before…

Breakfast was normal. We had a nice buffet style breakfast of pancakes and sausage. Morning worship was normal. We heard a great talk about community from Ross and Evan. But since it was still storming, we went right into game time. From game time, we had teaching time, and teaching time went into quiet times. It’s at this poing that I’m sitting in the Upper Hen House (where the girl staff sleeps) having my own quiet time, and the lights started flickering. I called Kim on my cell phone (don’t tell the campers I have it!) to see if I should go somewhere else. She said it was up to me. So I finished my quiet time and then headed over to the office. About five minutes after getting there… the lights go out. And don’t turn back on. Power outage! But it didn’t last for just a few minutes… it lasted for a few hours! Poor Helen (our cook) was down in the kitchen trying to make lunch with no electricity! But, being the rock star she is, we still managed to get lunch on the table and had our meal by candlelight After lunch, the campers had rest hour while the staff had a meeting, and lo and behold, the power came back. Right after we had prayed about it actually, which was pretty cool!

That was the history making part, by the way. Never before has there been a power outage at C.O.

The afternoon’s events consisted of canteen, Granny’s Candy, waterfront, dinner, cabin time, Safari, canteen, and Vespers. Right now the campers are in their cabins having a devotion with their counselor and heading to bed

Can’t wait for another great day tomorrow!
